Itinerario
All'arrivo, hai circa 3 ore di tempo libero per scoprire l'isola al tuo ritmo : ✦ Monumenti Architettonici : Passeggia sul lungomare per vedere la Torre dell'Orologio di Symi e le statue "Pace" dei subacquei spugnosi. ✦ Cultura locale : Visita i famosi laboratori di spugne per conoscere la storia delle immersioni in acque profonde di Symi e acquistare autentiche spugne di mare. ✦ Gastronomia : Consigliamo vivamente di provare il famoso "Symi Gamberetti" (Simiako Garidaki) in una taverna sul mare. Questi piccoli gamberetti croccanti sono una prelibatezza locale mangiata intera. ✦ La Città Alta (Chorio) : Se ti senti attivo, sali il Kali Strata (500 gradini di pietra) per raggiungere il villaggio superiore per la migliore vista panoramica del Dodecaneso.
Sulla strada per Symi, visitiamo la leggendaria baia di San Giorgio. Questo paradiso appartato è famoso per le sue scogliere verticali di 300 metri che proteggono le acque turchesi dal vento. ✦ Cosa fare: gettiamo l'ancora, permettendovi di saltare direttamente dalla barca nel mare cristallino. ✦ Snorkeling : l'acqua è incredibilmente trasparente, rendendolo il luogo ideale per lo snorkeling e la fotografia subacquea. ✦ Forniamo gratuitamente attrezzatura da snorkeling e tagliatelle galleggianti in modo da poter esplorare la bellezza subacquea.

Symi and St George’s bay , the title should be the other way around as it was swimming first then the symi town . It wasn’t as advertised . Walking around the town once wet and salty was not the most pleasant experience . If the trip to the town was first it would have been much more enjoyable . Starting at symi town would have meant feeling more comfortable and fresh . We were told that it was possible to swim at the bay later but the operator insisted later that it wasn’t . Operator did not explain plan at all , there was only a title to the trip
Very good boat trip, picked us us from hotel and dropped off which was an hour journey , very good option, very good scenery on the boat, amazing and clean water, swim stop was amazing and good time in symi to explore along the front and the island, even managed to get in the sea at symi island, would definitely recommend:)
We had an excellent day! The transfer from our hotel to their office in Rhodes was very good, on time and with a friendly driver. The staff in their office were nice with clear instructions about where the boat was in the harbour. They also gave us a really informative leaflet about Symi, with a 10% discount for a restaurant and a shop there, which we used. Great to see them supporting local businesses. The boat ride itself was very pleasant, the boat very nice and comfortable. In terms of where we visited on the boat ride, the water at St George Bay was so clear and deep blue, amazing for swimming in, with the backdrop of the spectacular scenery. Symi itself was really nice, so picturesque with colourful buildings up the hill side and deep blue water in the harbour. Would definitely recommend!
Simi Island and St George's Bay are absolutely beautiful, and the scenery alone makes for an unforgettable day. The only female member of the crew was lovely, friendly, and welcoming, which we really appreciated. Unfortunately, there were several serious safety concerns that overshadowed the trip. First, please be aware that St George's Bay has extremely strong currents. We were not warned about this beforehand, despite the significant risk it poses. We booked through Viator with Half Price Tours on the M/V Zeus D. Once onboard, we were never informed that purchases were cash only, nor were we given any safety briefing, including where the life jackets were located or what to do in an emergency. The boat itself was also very cramped, with limited space for passengers. The most concerning part of the trip occurred at St George's Bay. A gentleman got into serious difficulty in the water and came dangerously close to drowning due to the strong current. Despite the obvious emergency, none of the crew appeared to notice or respond until I shouted for help. Even then, it took several minutes for a crew member to retrieve a life buoy—valuable time in a life-threatening situation. When the buoy was finally thrown to us, it landed nowhere near where we were and, incredibly, it was not attached to a rope or secured to the boat. As we tried to help the man back, the loose rope became tangled around our necks and legs, creating another dangerous situation. My partner, myself, and two other passengers were left to rescue the man with virtually no assistance from the crew. While we were struggling against the current to bring him back to the boat, other passengers were still being allowed to jump into the water in the exact area we were trying to reach. When we finally got back alongside the boat, the crew's priority seemed to be retrieving the life buoy rather than helping the man onboard or checking on his condition. They did not ask if he was okay, offer assistance, or acknowledge what had just happened. When we requested some water for him, they sent a young child to fetch it instead of assisting themselves. The overall attitude of several crew members was disappointing. Instructions were delivered abruptly (such as "Move feet"), with little courtesy or concern for passengers. At another point during the trip, a young girl became seasick onboard. The crew simply walked around the sick without checking if she was okay or attempting to clean it up. A few things future passengers should know: * You cannot swim at Simi Island itself. * St George's Bay requires you to either jump from the boat or climb back onboard using a ladder. * Simi Island involves a lot of walking and can be very busy, so I would not recommend this excursion for anyone with mobility issues or those who are not comfortable climbing or jumping into the sea. Simi Island and St George's Bay are genuinely stunning destinations. Finally, if the gentleman who was in distress happens to read this, I sincerely hope you are doing well. I am so sorry that you were left in such a frightening situation and that the crew showed so little urgency, care, or support. No one should have to experience that. Thank you to everyone who stepped in to help. The passengers who assisted in getting him safely back to the boat acted quickly and selflessly, and without their efforts, the outcome could have been very different. I cannot overlook the way this emergency
We had a fantastic day out! The boat trip was smooth and well organized, with plenty of time to explore the island at our own pace. We also stopped for a swim in a stunning bay with crystal-clear blue water, which was a real highlight. Highly recommended for a relaxing and enjoyable day!
The communication from Half Price Tours was excellent. The boat however was stated as luxury but certainly was not. Director chairs cabled tied together and wooden benches with plastic padding is not luxurious! The middle lower section of the boat was not air conditioned either!! The swimming stop at St George’s Bay was very well organised and great fun. We had under 2 and a half hours on Symi not the stated three hours but the island is beautiful and is certainly worth a visit. Be prepared for a long day as all together we were travelling 6 hours on the boat!
Symi is a beautiful island so pleased we took the time to visit. The St George’s Bay swim stop was lovely but very disappointed that despite the booking information saying snorkelling gear would be made available there was nothing on board. Had this been made clearer we would have taken goggles as it’s the perfect spot to look at the sealife underwater.
Booked with George Half Price Tours. Everything was perfectly arranged. George sends another WhatsApp with all the data in advance. Top and highly recommended!!
Great trip. St George’s bay is an ideal stop to swim in deep blue but clear water. Symi itself is so beautiful and we had an excellent lunch there at a reasonable price. Lots of nice places to explore also on Symi. I would recommend that you book with half price tours! We was very well looked after.
NA Nothing to say. Was all good. Maybe even recommend speedboat
