Description

Sail to the enchanting island of Symi aboard one of our premium vessels, the Aphrodite Royal, Aphrodite Princess, or Aphrodite Queen. These are the newest, fastest, and most elegant boats in Rhodes, featuring advanced Wave Piercing Technology and designed to the highest standards of comfort, accessibility, and sleek, Ferrari-inspired style. Every passenger enjoys guaranteed open-air seating, so you can take in the views from start to finish. Set off from Mandraki Harbour on a high-speed cruise across the sparkling Aegean Sea toward Symi, one of the most beautiful islands in the Dodecanese. Along the way, enjoy a refreshing swim stop at Saint George’s Bay, famous for its crystal-clear waters and dramatic cliffs. As you arrive in Symi, you’ll be welcomed by a postcard-perfect harbor: turquoise waters, pastel neoclassical houses cascading down the hills, and charming church domes adding splashes of color to the skyline. You’ll have approximately three hours of free time to explore at your own pace. Wander through the picturesque streets, enjoy a leisurely lunch at a traditional seaside taverna (optional), or take a dip in the shimmering sea. On the return journey, relax on deck as you cruise along the stunning coastline until you get to Saint George’s Bay, for a perfect 30-minute swimming stop or simply soak up the sun before heading back to Rhodes. (Please note: in late September and October, the swim stop takes place on the outward journey to ensure the best lighting and sea colours.) **Important notes:** * If arriving by car at Mandraki Harbour, please allow extra time, as parking can be limited — we recommend arriving at least one hour early. Experience Symi in style, speed, and comfort, a day you won’t forget.
