Departing from Mandraki Harbor, you'll cross the sparkling Aegean on a modern, fast vessel that cuts your travel time whilst maximising your island exploration. The tour includes a refreshing 30-minute swim stop at Saint George's Bay, where crystal-clear waters meet dramatic coastal cliffs. Once you reach Symi's picturesque harbour, you'll have three full hours to explore this peaceful island at your own pace.
