    Very enjoyable excursion, only thing I would've liked was more swimtime in St. George's bay. Absolutely stunning bay. Loved that they had poolnoodles for the swim

    Went with my boyfriend and honestly, the whole trip just felt EASY. The fast boat was a win for me since I get seasick if it’s too slow, so 10/10 for that. We got picked up at the hotel bang on time, which was a relief (was worried they’d be late tbh). The boat itself was packed (get there early if ur picky about seats), but the crew were suuuper friendly and chill. Arriving at Symi was like stepping into a postcard, all those pastel houses! We had about 3 hours to wander, which was enough for us. Had some ice cream, got lost in the tiny streets, bought silly magnets. Swim stop at St George’s Bay was my FAVE bit – water is EPIC blue. Bring your own snacks though, nothing for sale onboard.

    Honestly, this was the highlight of our trip. Took my two besties and we had a blast. The boat leaves on time (don’t be late!) and the crew are super friendly, even cracked jokes while handing out the swim noodles. Symi is absolutely beautiful – the buildings are every pastel shade you can imagine. We grabbed some photos, got lost in the winding alleys, and had fresh calamari right on the harbor. The swim stop at St George’s Bay is next level gorgeous – bring your goggles for sure. Only thing is, it gets HOT, so bring a hat and maybe a mini fan. But for real, this trip is worth every cent.

    We booked the fast boat for a family day trip. Pick up was on time but boarding felt a bit chaotic, ended up sitting apart from my husband which was a bummer. Symi is absolutely beautiful, had a nice lunch and a quick shop. The swim stop at St George’s Bay was a highlight but only 30 mins, wish it was longer. Crew were friendly and helpful. Overall, a good experience but could be better organized.

    Family of 5, took the speedboat cause the kids get bored fast. Transfer was on time, no drama. Boarding was hectic and we ended up sitting all over the place, which wasn’t ideal. Symi itself is GORGEOUS though. We had time for a lazy lunch and a little shop. Swimming stop was fun but a bit too short for my liking, felt rushed getting everyone back on. Kids loved the foam noodles, so that’s a win.
