Symi Island Full-Day boottocht vanuit Rhodos

paid £25 for a 5 hour stay by boat from rhodes Kolona Harbour to Symi island, symi was breathtaking and a little paradise. Multi coloured houses and apartments, churches lit up the hills, i would imagine breathtaking at night time, i went at 10am. I followed the harbour path, and after 1 mile there is a lovely beach, carry on up and there is Plaka beach, the place is amazing and quite peaceful calm beaches. Mythos is quite cheap, i self catered myself to keep the bucks down, plenty of bars, restaraunts, shops, supermarkets in back streets, jewelry shops, antiques, but the island is a most for photography lovers, it is calm and just a place on heaven, amazing place.

Reservation made via Sunweb. Not worth it at all. Just tourist shops and restaurants. Additionally, you spend more than an hour in the afternoon on a boat to see an abbey that can be visited in 10 minutes.

Unfortunately the boat left 5 minutes before the agreed time! Up to 2 times. The first time we had to take a taxi at our own expense. This while the persons were counted before the went to the fors. So we were not missed. A wax nose...

The tour guide was very informative and friendly, providing clear instructions throughout the day. Unfortunately the weather was not great and the sea was very choppy, so the trip to the monastery was cancelled. Hence the tour was basically a return trip to Symi from Rhodes. Symi was very pretty and we were given 3 hours free time to explore with an optional 1-hour guided tour by the tour guide. We opted to skip the guided tour and wandered round the town on our own. If we had gotten to see the monastery as well, then the tour would have been worth the money - unfortunately (due to no fault of the tour provider), we did end up paying a lot for what was essentially a return ferry to Symi. We still had a lovely time and kudos to the tour guide for keeping us informed of the situation with the weather.

Very good excursion of the pick-up driver punctual welcome of the guide very professional departure of the boat visit the island explanation of the guide frankly a nice experience thank you.

We went on the yellow hulled Diamond and had a great time the boat was clean and offered a bar with hot and cold drinks. We paid 35 euros. We tried to haggle but got no discount. Others did and got the trip for 30 euros. Stick with it travel for no more! Shame about the swim, was offered 40 minutes but got about 20!

Nice big boat though fairly busy. Sail fast and eventually you arrive in Symi. Very nice and clean, impressive colored cottages. Fine shops, nice places to eat and some strolling around. It was a very hot day and on the way back we were happy that there was air conditioning in the boat. Swimming stop was nice, too bad I didn't have diving goggles. Highly recommended to do.

Great boat journey. Would have liked a commentary on route. Walk around the town. Limited history. Stopped at a sponge store (favoured by guide) Restaurant recommended by guide on behalf of Tui. Expensive to eat everywhere. Only opportunity to get in the sea was from a few steps next to a restaurant…. Into the harbour. Via restaurant area with sun loungers. Hence packed !!! Visit to church was interesting, history wise. But nothing else there. Not for famillies

Beautiful cozy town. Beautiful pastel colored houses built around the bay. Restaurants where you can eat delicious seafood dishes at a reasonable price. Pleasant stroll through the streets. Boat trip is also fun, you can choose to sit on the outside terrace or sheltered inside. There is a small bar. We had a beautiful, pleasant sunny day. It is best to book at the stands on the water, it is much cheaper and is identical to the travel agencies. We paid half. €29 per person. Just give this as a tip.

The boat trip takes about 1.5 hours and seems to go by even faster on the way back than on the way there. There is more than enough space on board. The view is fantastic. Between arrival at 11:30 am and departure at 4:30 pm we had plenty of time for an excursion to the monastery on the south side of the island, a brisk walk to a restaurant outside the center and a drink near the harbor. Highly recommended, but given availability you must book on time. Especially if you want a combination ticket boat + monastery.
