Symi island...definitely worth a visit!

Published on Oct, 2024

This was a brilliant day out, Symi island is a lovely, colourful place, and the our provider made it all the more special. I would strongly recommend

Well worth a visit

Published on Oct, 2024

Symi is very picturesque with it's houses of different colours clustered on the hillside. I was travelling alone and walk with a crutch. The staff on the boat could not have been more helpful. One lady in particular found me a safe place to sit where I was close to the toilet, didn't have far to get off the boat, didn't have any steps to negotiate, and still had a chance to look at the scenery, providing no one stood in front of me. All together a very enjoyable day I would recommend to anyone.

Boat day trip to Symi island from Rhodes

Published on Oct, 2024

Took a boat trip to Symi which cost €45 for an adult, we were picked up by coach at 0800, The boat left at 1000 and took 1.75 hours and the boat was jam packed. But there was stunning views of the Turkish coast.We got 3 hours in Symi town which was sufficient as the weather was hot, hot, hot. There are numerous shops, restaurants and souvenir kiosks. The boat left at 1400 and sailed around the coast of Symi to the Monastry of Panormitis, this took 60minutes, I thought the area was stunning but I felt it was an excuse to extract money from the tourists. The boat left at 1600 and arrived in Rhodes town about 1800 where we boarded the bus back to Ialyssos.

The yacht experience was Great!

Published on Oct, 2024

The prestige crew were fab, I would reccomend doing a trip like this with fewer people. The food was okay. I would choose the lasagne next time, the chicken was a bit dry. Emily was great and the captain was funny. The transfer was quick and easy.. we had our own mini bus on the way back too! The lady in the ixia tour shop was really helpful, I couldn’t remember her name but she had a big tattoo on her arm. Also take a windproof jacket as it was really windy in the way to symi island.

Full day experience to beautiful Symi

Published on Sep, 2024

Symi was a beautiful island, with colourful houses and an abundance of restaurants. The cruise company was efficient and the crossing from Rhodes was smooth luckily. However if a cruise ship is visiting Rhodes it will be busy and suggest booking a few days before. The first stop at the Monastery was about an hour. Worth the short visit to look round and visit the local bakery. Couple of eateries as you get off the boat too. Chose this particular tour as we didn’t want to swim at St George’s bay. Viator used Manos and the coach turned up on time and at the stop directly outside our hotel (Shereton) Souvenirs appeared a little more expensive than on Rhodes itself. Good value for money
