Symi Island Express: St. George's Bay Swim & Island Charm

I was surprised at how large the boat was and impersonal. Staff were rushed and stressed out. You couldn't stand up the entire ride and you can't see anything if you sit on the main deck near the bathrooms. I felt that a smaller boat with a nicer crew would have been more interesting for us even though it would have taken longer. I wouldn't do this again. But it ran on time, they gave out fleeces for the cold, it was safe and fast.

Well organised trip,pick up from Kolymbia harbour Fast boat to Rhodes town we Here we swapped boats to travel to SYMI Bit unfortunately the starched not cleared to water from the canopy to whe boat set off we both got drenched by this. Staff gave out fleeces for those that were cold ,thought this was a good touch . Hour to Symi wher we stopped for 3 hours . Very picturesque town with shops and restaurants Back on the boat to st George's bay ut unfortunately it start to rain so this was cut short Hour trip back to Rhodes town then transfer to boat to Kolymbia All In all a good trip it's 70 euros each

I booked this for my mum who has always wanted to go she’s 85 with mobility issues I emailed about being able to take her and could they accommodate a rolator Bev was very comprehensive explaining everything so I booked it. We got picked up from Vlycha beach and boarded a boat which dropped everyone off at Rhodes town and those going to symi transferred straight away onto a larger vessel I cannot thank the team enough for their kindness and consideration for my mum assisting her without being asked We had a fantastic 3 hrs in symi My only advise is if going in October definitely take extra layers as it was very windy thankfully the crew had extra fleeces to give to anyone who was cold Honestly made a very memorable trip for us and would recommend to anyone.

Bring a jacket- breezy on the boat. It can also rain but rain gear is provided. Swim stop is superb.

I would not recommend this if you get travel sick. The journey out was very bumpy and felt a bit chaotic. Communication not great However… Symi is very pretty and worth the visit and this is the faster boat. And journey back much calmer so maybe we just got unlucky outward bound.

My husband & I had the most wonderful trip to Symi Island with Rhode Sea Lines. The boat was fast the staff were all friendly & welcoming. We found the trip very reasonable at £90 euro for 2 adults. Symi island is a must if you in Rhodes I have never been somewhere so breathtakingly beautiful. Lovely shops & nice eating places at reasonable prices. The only downside we really wanted longer in Symi. 3 hours really wasn't enough to experience everything the island had to offer. I would highly recommend Rhodes Sea Lines & we have already booked another trip to Lindos before we head home.

Symi is beautiful and well worth a visit. Stop for a swim at St George's Bay also very good. Great day out.

Trp across was really good. Just about the right amount of time in Symi and for swimming. All in all a good trip

Really nice trip. Very windy so take a jacket. Had to sit at the back as it was very full. Symi was stunning 🇬🇷 very busy and alot of traffic... Mainly Motor bikes.

The high speed boat picked us up from the beach outside our hotel at 9am. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The boat was clean and comfortable. The boat stopped a little further down the beach as well as at Lindos and we arrived in Rhodes by 11am. Swapped to a larger boat before heading off to Symi. We arrived just after midday and we stayed in Symi for 3 hours. We were then taken to St George's Bay where we stopped for 45 min for a swim. We got back to our hotel around 7:30pm. Symi is a beautiful place and I highly recommend you visit. Travelling with high speed was a joy.
