Yacht catering in Symi Port, Greece

35 superyacht berthsGarides Symiakes (Symi shrimp) · Symi olive oil · Rhodes Athiri and Mandilaria wines
Symi Port sits in the natural amphitheatre harbour of Symi, with 35 superyacht berths in one of the most photographed small ports of the Mediterranean — the neoclassical pastel-coloured houses climbing the steep hillsides above the bay create the iconic image of the Dodecanese. Symi is the chic small-island alternative to Rhodes in the southern Dodecanese — 24 km north of Rhodes and 8 km off the Turkish coast. The Symi pantry is Dodecanese small-island. The famous garides Symiakes — Symi shrimp, a particularly small, sweet shrimp species fished in the waters around the island, traditionally served fried whole and eaten shell-and-all. This is the island's culinary identity in a single dish. Symi olive oil. Wines from Rhodes and the broader Dodecanese. Symi specialties: katimeria (cheese pastries), the local sun-dried tomato preparations. Greek pantry items via Rhodes ferry. Fresh fish from local Symi boats. Crossover Turkish-influenced cuisine given the 8-km strait, with halal protocols available. Yachting season runs late May through September with sharp peaks August. Symi suppliers handle same-day on fresh items and 24 to 48 hours on full provisioning. The marina is small — best for charters wanting one of the most visually distinctive Dodecanese stops, complementing fuller provisioning runs in Rhodes (65 km south).
