About this experience
The only high speed boat operating the Faliraki-Symi route which means that finally, you don't have to wake up early and join a one hour bus ride to go to Rhodes Harbour, to board a boat! With a late departure (10:00) and only one hour and 20 minutes journey time, this brand new boat offers an exhilarating journey and then three hours freedom to explore the island of Symi and its secrets.
Symi, Greece is one of the most picturesque and charming islands of Greece.
The most impressive spot on the island is hands down Symi port. The hill above the port is packed with crayon-like mansions which emit a fairytale-like charm. Not to mention that any corner of the town boasts a magnificent view of the Aegean Sea. The unique atmosphere of the port will bewitch you!
