Yalitzi

what is "Yalitzi"


It may sound Greek to you, but trust us it’s strange even for Greeks! Though there is an explanation. The name Yalitzi is a combination of 2 elements, utterly relative with Symi. Firstly our precious little house is located in Yialos, Symi (usualy written Gialos, but it's spelled  "Yialos"). So as a part of Yialos it could carry something from its name. Secondly and most important (or funny) has to do with the local accent, which adds a "t" to every "z". So Yalizi is spelled Y a l i t z i

the Greek verb Yalizi (Yalitzi for locals) means "it shines". We are sure it shines from neatness. we believe it shines from beauty and we hope it will shine at your presence

 

the house


It has always been our favorite home on the island. It got a little ..aged so we decided it! We studied, we reshaped it, we improved it, we totaly transformed it with lots of love , to share it with you ..our Yalitzi!

 

our island


Within a highly nautical atmosphere, with its highly developed cultural level, Symi imagines a queen who proudly reflects on the deep blue waters of the harbor. There is no doubt that Symi is one of the most picturesque seas ""states"" in the Aegean, but one of the most enchanting neighborhoods of the entire Mediterranean.

 

The place is perfectly located. 2 blocks from the harbour with no steps required. The studio is beautiful and tastefully appointed, and it has a lovely back patio where to chill-out. Despite its central location, it is very quiet. But the best of all was Kate - the host - who lives below. She cared for us with the genuine love only a grandma can elicit. Seeing her and chatting in our basic French (the common language we were able to find) was always a treasurable moment. Can't think of anything bad, it was really perfect and I'd return / recommend it in a heartbeat.
