Itinerary
Upon arrival, you have around 3 hours of free time to discover the island at your own pace: ✦ Architectural Landmarks: Walk the waterfront to see the Symi Clock Tower and the "Peace" statues of the sponge divers. ✦ Local Culture: Visit the famous Sponge Workshops to learn about Symi's deep-sea diving history and buy authentic sea sponges. ✦ Gastronomy: We highly recommend trying the famous "Symi Shrimp" (Simiako Garidaki) at a seaside taverna. These tiny, crispy shrimp are a local delicacy eaten whole. ✦ The Upper Town (Chorio): If you’re feeling active, climb the Kali Strata (500 stone steps) to reach the upper village for the best panoramic view in the Dodecanese.
On the way to Symi, we visit the legendary St. George’s Bay. This secluded paradise is famous for its 300-meter vertical cliffs that shield the turquoise waters from the wind. ✦ What to do: We drop anchor, allowing you to jump directly from the boat into the crystal-clear sea. ✦ Snorkeling: The water is incredibly transparent, making it the premier spot for snorkeling and underwater photography. ✦ We provide complimentary snorkeling gear and floating noodles so you can explore the underwater beauty.

A nice trip to Symi
I got good informartion with the travel agency Half price tours. They contacted me by whats upp and called also just to be sure that I got the location to take my tickets. It was easy to find them and the boat was fast and confortable. There is air condition on the floor or you can sit upp stairs. I recomend it. Symi is "Must to do".
