Everything ran to time. Be early to get your preferred place to sit. Upstairs fills up pretty fast.

The trip into St George’s bay was absolutely amazing , and the time in Symi island was perfect! The whole day was beautiful and worth every penny. I don’t believe anything could be improved.

Full description

Take a High-Speed boat cruise to Symi Island, of the Dodecanese's most beautiful islands set amid the brilliant blue sea. Enjoy a fast boat service that gives you more time to explore the island. On the way, stop for swimming at Saint George’s bay. Begin your high-speed cruise at Mandraki Harbor as you set sail for Symi. On arrival, admire the turquoise water of the fishing harbor, the pastel-colored neoclassical buildings that frame the bay, and the colorful church domes dotting the landscape.

Disembark at Symi and enjoy approximately 3 hours to explore the fishing town on your own. Have lunch at one of the numerous traditional tavernas (at your expense) or swim in the glittering waters.
Depart Symi and admire the coastal views as you sail through Saint George’s Bay. (From the end of september and october we will be going to St Georges Bay first as if we go after Symi, the bay will be already shaded and the ocean colours wont be like shown.)
Stop for a dip in the crystal clear waters or soak up the sunshine on deck before making your way back to Rhodes.

The 3:15 departure does not make a swim stop, only a photo stop.
If you come by car at Mandraki Harbour, parking is hard to find so make sure you come at least an hour before.

Includes

  • High-speed boat cruise
  • Free time in Symi
  • Swimming stop in Saint George’s Bay
  • Hotel transfers
  • Meals and drinks

Meeting point

Meeting point may vary depending on the option booked.

Important information

What to bring

  • Swimwear
  • Towel

Know before you go

  • The 9:00 and 11:00 departures to Symi Island stop in St Georges Bay for a 30 minute swim stop.
  • The 15:15 departure to Symi Island does NOT stop in St Georges Bay for swimming only for a 5 minute photo stop, however on this departure time, you enjoy Symi at a less busy time, less hot and you get to see a super sunset on your way back to Rhodes.
