Itinerary
Our first stop is St George's Bay — a spectacular natural bay on the east coast of Symi, accessible only by boat. Drop anchor for 1 hour amid turquoise waters and untouched natural landscape. Slip into the silky, crystal-clear sea to swim, or simply sit back, sip a cocktail and just enjoy the view. Applies to specific packages only : a traditional Greek lunch will be served onboard from the St. George Bay stop through to arrival in Symi.
Remote yet cosmopolitan, Symi is often referred to as the ‘Jewel of the Dodecanese’, thanks to its breathtaking beauty and abundance of Old-World glamour. Experience the low-key charm and mesmerising architecture of this authentic Greek island on a luxurious day cruise to Symi with Mediterranean Sea Cruises.

Brill boat trip, Angela serving in n the boat was very friendly. Symi is beautiful.
Everything went well: beauty, relaxation, calm, a dream after the crowds of Rhodes. A treat for the mind and the eyes.
To be avoided if possible… We booked this one-day boat trip in June 2026 and were very disappointed. We got our tickets at the stand of this company near the boat. And the seller indeed sold us the boat that you can see in the photos. Upon arriving with the transfer, we saw not one but two boats from this company and we were directed to the one on the left. Unfortunately for us, the boat has no outdoor space on the lower deck. And the crew prohibited us from going to the upper deck because it was full. We spent the entire duration of our excursion confined in a boat cabin under terrible heat! For snorkeling, no equipment was provided (apart from pool noodles), and Simy Island is quite charming.
The staff were lovely and everything was very efficient. We also had a good amount of time in both spots. Would definitely do again.
Very nice, lovely staff good value
