The trip is not in order accurting to viator. But it was better that way (the trip went to symi island first, and georges bay afterwards). The music onboard is caotic and loud, but the staff was nice and helpful. Its possible to buy drinks/snacks on board, but bring cash! The pick up went smoothly, but the drive home was awful. The driver and his coworker was yapping loudly for 1.30 hour straight, instead of focusing on efficent driving. A trip that would usualy take 50 minutes, took 1 hours and 30 minutes, because the driver drove under speed limit the whole trip and drove alternative ways before we even got out of rhodes city. The Island on the other side was amazing. Good food, nice locals and many gift-shopping oppurtunities.
