Symi is a most picturesque island, with buildings stretching from the coastline up the mountains.
Its main town, commonly referred to by the same name as the island itself, is one of the most impressive ports in the Greek island with elegant mansions on the slopes of a hill. One of the key sights on the island is the Monastery of the Archangel Michael Panormitis, which is still used by monks and which attracts visitors from all over the world.
In polar and other cold regions there are ice, snow and water formations that are unusual, unique, and some of them so beautiful they take your breath away. Most of these wonders of nature can be visited only by scientists and rare adventurers who are ready for significant physical and financial exertions. Because of their volatility and locations, these formations can be seen only at certain periods of the year.
