The most amazing day in Rhodes - I had organised a trip from Kolymbia to Symi for the 14th June and upon messaging Rhodes Sealines, they was ever so helpful, patient and informative. They replied quickly every time and never had to wait more than a few hours for their response. Because of their amazing help, I now cannot recommended visiting Symi Island with Rhodes Sealines enough!! We had are arranged for the trip to be on Wednesday 14th June and had agreed to meet them at 10am at the Kolymbia Harbour. We had arrived at around 9:50 and was greeted by two men who work for Rhodes Sea Lines who had arrived in a car at 9:55, we paid for our tickets and was told that the boat would shortly arrive. One of the me. who works for Rhodes Sea lines had put up a drone for the boat to manoeuvre into the bay. Which was great to watch as the captain drove the boat so well! They kept us informed of everything from the get go and that we was aboard the Aphrodite Princess from Kolymbia to Old Town and then we would change boats and get on the Aphrodite Queen from Old Town to Symi. Once boarded in Kolymbia, we was so happy and knew that it was going to be a fantastic day! The boat is amazing and was the best looking and seemed like it was in great condition, one of the best looking we have seen in Rhodes. With it being a speedboat it does go fast but it is also so incredibly smooth and gives such a relaxing/comfortable ride, the seats are perfect. You also can choose between sitting outside on the deck which we chose to do or upstairs where there is the sunshade. Once in Old Town, the boat to Symi was literally right next to the one we arrived on which was really great! The Aphrodite Queen is an identical boat to the Aphrodite princess. We was soon on the way and it was such a beautiful and comfortable ride to Symi, myself and my partner nearly fell asleep, a number of times it was so nice. It took about an hour to arrive in Symi and there are some great sights along the way! Symi is beautiful and it really is so idyllic, it is so worth visiting when you are in Rhodes. Three hours is a great amount of time to spend in Symi, we had a lovely lunch with a great view and enjoyed the best Symi shrimp we could find and not forgetting the best Garlic prawns we have ever tasted! We also enjoyed an ice cream from one of the many shops that sell ice cream and looked at the shops and took so many lovely photos. When we arrived back in time for boarding, we had to wait for some late comers and we we had a nice chat with a lady who works as part of the Rhodes Sea Lines team who was named Janet and it was lovely to hear that Janet comes not far from where I was born in England. Afterwards, Rhodes Sea Lines took us to Saint George Bay for a 30 minute swim stop. Saint George Bay is breathtaking. I was really happy about the swim stop however I’m not a good swimmer. I was delighted when I realised that Rhodes Sea Lines have pool floats for those who wish to have them during swim stops. This is an experience I’ll remember for the rest of my life! The crew stand either side of where you jump into the sea and are aware of safety at all times. Sailing back to Old Town was absolutely gorgeous! This was our best day during our 11 day vacation in Rhodes, Greece and would definitely do it again in a heartbeat! Rhodes Sea Lines seems to be the only boat company who pick up from Kolymbia via the boat. Rhodes Sea Lines helped make our anniversary special as they made it possible for us to go to Symi. Thank you to everybody at Rhodes Sea Lines, especially to the young man who answered all of my questions! He was ever so helpful and his customer service was excellent! All the team are super friendly and speak good English and they are ever so passionate about doing their job. I will 100% recommend Rhodes Sea Lines to everybody and my partner and I have not stopped telling everybody about how great this day was! We 10/10 recommend this company.
