Well worth a visit. Avoid or wait until the day trip boats have gone. The mini bus ride from the harbour was bit hairaising

It was an interesting place I can give it that - very historical and informative leaflets there. The issue I can make is not with the monastery - but I just don't like Symi! It's got lovely scenery but always feel claustrophobic when there. Everything is crammed round the edges where towns are concerned. Fortunately only here on a 1 day boat trip from Rhodes, which is lovely as we'll.

I came to Panormitis from Symi by a daily ferry tour. The monastery looks attractive from far and sidewise. There you can find a place where you drink and eat something near the monastery as well as time for swimming. The ferry stayed for one hour, this was enough for this place.

We went twice but didn't go in, instead we walked around the harbour & swam which was great. Gets over run with day trip boats

a monastry but not a lot else there perhaps we arrived at the wrong time. It was very busy and it does feel like your imposing on some of the true believers.

We came in on a boat from Rhodes City after a stop in Symi City and stayed about an hour. It was packed with tourists all off the same boat, so getting into the main part was a queue and very crowded. It is a charming little place, with a couple of places to get some food and a small beach off to the side of the bay. Peaceful, even with a boatload of tourists wandering about.

We dropped anchor in Panormitis bay, so peaceful after the chaos that is Symi! Great walk around the harbour, goats galore and a great monastery. Well worth a visit.

What a charming little place. We arrived by boat and had a stroll around the very small village. There was a church service being held in a small but very beautiful Greek Orthodox Church. The paving, little square and general area around the church was beautifully serene. The only Restaurante supplied a great typically Greek meal but steer clear of the red house wine which caused our eyes to water! Very reasonable prices and great plane to spend a couple of hours.

Interesting place, beautiful buildings. Nice handy taverna nearby. Very peaceful until the tourist boat casts of its cargo for visits. That's the time to leave

This was a stop on the way to Symi and was a great insight into like years ago in Greece as well as the life the Monks lived. The Icons are interesting too. Not a lot of sinage or information about the items on display.
