Additional Information

Each island in the Dodecanese chain offers its own unique experience, with Symi ranking high in cultural richness. Experience its laidback allure and explore attractions like the Panormitis Monastery and a local sponge maker. Our homegrown guide, Fotini, states, ‘Symi, one of the tiniest and visually appealing Greece islands, never disappoints with the view of the vibrantly painted residences greeting you as you enter the port.’

The adventure commences with a smooth journey over the Aegean Sea to Symi. The inaugural stop is on the island’s southwest, at the expansive, Venetian-influenced Panormitis Monastery. The monastery is renowned for its Byzantine wall paintings and St Michael’s icon. However, what makes it stand out the most is its picturesque location right by the tranquil waters of a secluded bay. There will also be free time allocated for you to roam and explore the premises.

Symi Island - This is a must do for the ones visiting Rhodes, the tour starts with a visit to one of Greece's most beautiful, monastery as previously said there is no entrance fee, you will continue to the port of Symi island , our Tour Guide was amazing always with us through out the tour providing information about the monastery and Symi Town, we were given a little treat some olive natural soap, and then you have about couple hours to yourself to go around the shops or grab lunch as we did, its an amazing tour we stopped as well at St George's Bay to take some pictures and as well we sail along Turkey's main coast so watch out for Roaming Charges, just to let you know the boat does not stop for swimming, i hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Terrible and unacceptable service - Terrible experience, we booked this trip which supposed to include transportation to and from hotel, guided tour, a drink on boat etc etc. BUT the local operator didn't organise anything. We had to take taxi to port and when trying to check in, our names were not on ferry's list. They refuse entry ask to run to another port 2 miles away, when reach there we were sent back to same port. It was exhausting running on that hot weather, managed to get connected and speak to someone, finally he arranged us to get into the boat at final minute. We get to the boat but there was no one to guide us, no information on app or email or call, we were all on our own walked around symi and back. The tour was advertised on Viator web in very nice way but sadly it's not like what it says. We didn't get what we paid for and on top the additional taxi expenses. I'm asking for refund and would not recommend anyone to take this trip. By the way Symi was very beautiful.
