Length of time in Symi is just enough to get some lunch, walk around and explore a little and get a feel for it. Perfect for what we wanted which was a change of scene and to see somewhere cool.

Good trip to Symi and came in as the cheapest price I could find anywhere. to flag, compared to the more expensive catamarans, this boat is a fair bit slower, but I don't think you need more than 3-4 hours in Symi (unless you want to visit the Orthodox Monastery, then you need more time) and the swimming stop which the catamarans can't do was very good

Thank you for your review! We’re glad you enjoyed the trip to Symi and found it great value. You’re absolutely right—while our boat is a bit slower than catamarans, the swimming stop is a unique highlight we’re happy to offer. We appreciate your insights and hope to welcome you back on board soon!
