Overview
Departing from Mandraki Harbor in the morning, the boat heads north to Symi Island. The first stop is the Panormitis Monastery in the south; then the boat enters Symi Harbor, surrounded by pastel-colored neoclassical houses, and spends free time in the town. Some boats stop for a swim at Agios Georgios Dysalonas Bay on the way back. Return to Rhodes in the evening.
