Event & Island Information

Symi Island is special to us, and we hope it will be special to you, too.

Symi has been Alex’s family’s preferred Greek holiday destination for over two decades. Since Casey and Alex’s first trip there in 2015, it has become the home to many happy memories - including their 2019 wedding and 2022 baptism for Kosta.

We’re excited to add another family milestone to the long list of reasons we cherish this special place.
