Simi is the name of a Greek island located in the Aegean Sea, close to the border with Turkey, as well as the town located in its area. The island has been inhabited since antiquity, when it was the cradle of the best sailors and ship builders. According to mythology, three graces were to be born on Simi, and its name comes from the name of the nymph Syme – wife of Poseidon. In contrast to the architecture of most Greek towns, the architecture of Simi is very colorful, soft pastel colors dominate here, creating a fabulous atmosphere. Perhaps the local builders were inspired by colorful Turkish mosaics.
