Caroline, Ilias and Maria were amazing guides. We first climbed a few hours against the Ladiko sport climbing section. All three routes were 5A+ and the left one could be climbed as a 5B+ as well. Afterwards we hiked to the cave for the rappel, which was gorgeous against the fading light of the sunset on the sea. Amazing experience and would love another guided tour with Ilias or Caroline. For me this was the best experience of my vacation in Rhodes. Thank you so much!

The swim stop at St George’s Bay for a northern european was as if planned in heaven! Crystal sea, still very warm in late October. Symi is a stunningly beautiful location with some fantastic food on offer.

Fantastic day out, the added transfer is such a great bonus! The day out itself was great, St George Bay was beautiful and Symi island was lovely to walk around. Would definitely recommend.

Costa was fabulous guide, this is 2nd time I have done trip with him, so knowledgeable and passionate about Kos history.

The only boat that visits Symi directly from Faliraki. Great day
