Joanne – United Kingdom

The boat was very comfortable. The crew were professional and helpful when asked about anything. The snorkel stop was fun and the children liked jumping into the water. Symi island is beautiful. We had a lovely day.

Kim – United Kingdom

really great day,the boat was only about half full,due to it being Oct,which was actually lovely!;) the staff were friendly enough,symi was just stunning! the only thing I will say is when we stopped for swim stop,the bay is quite shady now the October sun is lower,and it was really cold! but all in all a brilliant day out!
