Boat Trip to Symi Island with Swimming Stop at St George Bay

1. Symi
   3h
   Upon arrival, you have around 3 hours of free time to discover the island at your own pace:
   
   ✦ Architectural Landmarks: Walk the waterfront to see the Symi Clock Tower and the "Peace" statues of the sponge divers.
   
   ✦ Local Culture: Visit the famous Sponge Workshops to learn about Symi's deep-sea diving history and buy authentic sea sponges.
   
   ✦ Gastronomy: We highly recommend trying the famous "Symi Shrimp" (Simiako Garidaki) at a seaside taverna. These tiny, crispy shrimp are a local delicacy eaten whole.
   
   ✦ The Upper Town (Chorio): If you’re feeling active, climb the Kali Strata (500 stone steps) to reach the upper village for the best panoramic view in the Dodecanese.
2. Saint George Bay
   1h
   On the way to Symi, we visit the legendary St. George’s Bay. This secluded paradise is famous for its 300-meter vertical cliffs that shield the turquoise waters from the wind.
   
   ✦ What to do: We drop anchor, allowing you to jump directly from the boat into the crystal-clear sea.
   
   ✦ Swimming: The water is incredibly transparent, making it the premier spot for swimming..
   
   ✦ We provide complimentary floating noodles for not so confident swimmers.

Pickup details

We offer pick-ups from all the hotels in Rhodes island. Transfer service is available for a small additional supplement, which depends on how far is located your hotel (visible during checkout). It includes both ways: pick-up from your hotel, and after the trip drop off back.

When booking select an option that covers the area where is located your hotel. For example: if you stay in Faliraki, select option "Pickup: Faliraki, Ialyssos".
