❤️ The Journey: From Rhodes to the Jewel of the Aegean
Our cruise departs daily from the historic Mandraki Harbour. As we sail across the Aegean, enjoy open-deck views of the Turkish coastline and the surrounding islands. The highlight of the journey is the entrance to Symi Harbour (Gialos) - an unforgettable sight where pastel-colored neoclassical houses rise like an amphitheatre from the sea.

❤️ Explore Symi Town (Gialos & Chorio)
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.

❤️ The Swim Stop: St. George’s Bay (Disalona)
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.

✦ Snorkelling: The water is incredibly transparent, making it the premier spot for snorkelling and underwater photography. We provide complimentary snorkelling gear and floating noodles so you can explore the underwater beauty.

❤️ Stress-Free Hotel Transfers
We make getting to the harbour easy with our door-to-door transfer service. When booking, simply select your hotel, and we will handle the rest.

✦ Service Areas: We provide daily pickups from all major tourist hubs, including:
North Rhodes: Rhodes Town, Ixia, Ialyssos, and Theologos.
East Coast: Faliraki, Kalithea, Afandou, and Kolymbia.
South Rhodes: Lindos, Pefkos, Lardos, and Gennadi.

✦ Pick-up Times: Generally between 08:00 AM and 09:15 AM, depending on your location.

✦ Confirmation: Once you book, you will receive a message from us with your exact pick-up time and location.
