About the Beach
Nanou Beach is a spectacular and impressively beautiful coastal sanctuary on the eastern coast of Symi, located within a large sweeping bay backed by high rocky cliffs and a unique wooded area of cypress and pine trees. It features a shore of medium to large white pebbles and exceptionally clear turquoise water that is world-renowned for its transparency, making it a premier destination for snorkeling and underwater exploration along the far edges of the bay. The beach is well-organized with many rows of sunbeds, umbrellas, and a traditional taverna that serves fresh local seafood in a relaxed and social environment, providing a curated swim in a setting that remains raw and dramatic. It is a destination for those who want a high-quality maritime experience away from the sandy shores, often preferred by international visitors who arrive via the frequent water taxis that depart from the main port of Gialos. The water is deep and fresh, providing an invigorating environment for a long soak while watching the private yachts and sailing boats anchor in the sheltered harbor. Access is primarily by sea, which ensures the atmosphere remains exclusive and the landscape remains protected from the modern developments of the island interior.
