Who was Simos?<\/strong>
No one knows for sure. But some stories stand out:
The Pirate or Captain Simos<\/strong>
An old local tale says the beach was named after a captain or pirate who shipwrecked here or used the twin bays to hide his vessel. The dunes made for perfect cover \u2014 and some even say his treasure is still buried here\u2026 (but you didn\u2019t hear that from us).
The Mycenaean Simos<\/strong>
The name \u201cSimos\u201d dates back to ancient Greece, perhaps even to the Mycenaean era. Some believe the beach was named after a landowner or prominent figure who lived here thousands of years ago. Just nearby, in Pavlopetri, lies one of the oldest submerged cities in the world. Many believe the Simos area held spiritual significance for the Minoans or Mycenaeans.
Perhaps these dunes are older than we think\u2026
The Nymph and the Fisherman<\/strong>
But the most beloved legend is a romantic one\u2026 Simos, they say, was a humble fisherman who fell in love with a sea nymph. She would appear only on nights with a full moon, and the two met in secret among the dunes. Until one night, Simos never returned. Since then, when the wind blows through the cedar trees, you can hear her song \u2014 and some say she\u2019s still searching for her love. Too sweet? Maybe. Romantic? Absolutely.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Next time you walk among the dunes or rest under the cedars, listen closely\u2026 You never know what secrets Simos might whisper to you.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
