Symi Festival is organised every summer for the last nine years. The idea is based in the disenterested participation of artists and organisers. There is neither ticket in the cultural events nor payment for the artists. The Town Hall covers the expenses of going and stay of the participants. Symi's Festival has to do with several cultural activities like classical and modern music concerts, dance, thetre, cinema, literature evenings, conferences. All these manifestations take place in buildings with traditional architecture of 17th, 18th, 19th century like the famous manor house of Chatziagapitos, the courtyard of Saint John and the monastery of Panormitis. This year our festival is dedicated to athleticism and to the Olympic Games of Athens 2004. Symi’s Festival popularity has attracted famous artists to participate like Nana Mouschouri, Leonidas Kavakos, Lavredis Machairitsas, Stavros Xarhakos, Thanos Mikroutsikos, Dimitra Galani, Maria Faradouri, Stefanos Korkolis, Orchestre of Moscow. Symi has also put up with important conferences such as Emigrant Hellenism, Neoclassical Architecture, Litterature of Emigrant Hellenism, Health Nursing in small islands of south Aegean.
