    ⚓️ Quick Facts
    ➤ Departure Point: Mandraki Harbour, Rhodes (Check-in at our office, Gallias 6, next to harbour).
    ➤ Hotel Pick-up: Available from Faliraki, Ialyssos, Ixia, Kolymbia, Lindos, Pefkos, Lardos, Gennadi, Theologos & Rhodes Town.
    ➤ Duration: ~8.5 Hours.
    ➤ Vessel Features: Cruiser with A/C lounges, sun decks, and a snack bar.
    ➤ Key Stops: Saint George Bay (~1-hour swim) and Symi Town (~3 hours free time).

    ❤️ The Journey: From Rhodes to the Jewel of the Aegean
    Our cruise departs daily from the historic Mandraki Harbour. As we sail across the Aegean, enjoy open-deck views of the Turkish coastline and the surrounding islands. The highlight of the journey is the entrance to Symi Harbour (Gialos) - an unforgettable sight where pastel-colored neoclassical houses rise like an amphitheatre from the sea.

    ❤️ Explore Symi Town (Gialos & Chorio)
    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.

    ❤️ The Swim Stop: St. George’s Bay (Disalona)
    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.

    ✦ Swimming: The water is incredibly transparent, making it the premier spot for swimming. We provide complimentary floating noodles for not so confident swimmers.

    ❤️ Stress-Free Hotel Transfers
    We make getting to the harbour easy with our door-to-door transfer service. When booking, simply select your hotel, and we will handle the rest.

    ✦ Service Areas: We provide daily pickups from all major tourist hubs, including:
    North Rhodes: Rhodes Town, Ixia, Ialyssos, and Theologos.
    East Coast: Faliraki, Kalithea, Afandou, and Kolymbia.
    South Rhodes: Lindos, Pefkos, Lardos, and Gennadi.

    ✦ Pick-up Times: Generally between 08:00 AM and 09:15 AM, depending on your location.

    ✦ Confirmation: Once you book, you will receive a message from us with your exact pick-up time and location.
