Rhodes: High-Speed Boat to Symi Island & Saint George’s Bay

1.High-Speed Boat to Symi Island & Saint George’s Bay

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 3,048 reviews · 6 - 9 hours · from $69 a head Our pick

Ride with Rhodes Sea Lines from Mandraki Harbor to Symi in about an hour, with three hours to explore the harbor, shops, lanes, tavernas, and beaches on your own. The 9:00 and 11:00 departures include a 30-minute swim at Saint George’s Bay. The 15:15 sailing offers a photo stop instead, plus cooler temperatures and a sunset return.

“Enjoyable time had by all! Fast boat wasn’t a bad ride at all, after reading a couple of reviews I was a bit worried but it was smooth and relaxing. Prefered the shorter journey to Symi than some of the boats offered. Symi is worth the visit, very pretty. Had a nice meal and shared it with the fish. And got to swim in St George’s bay on the return. Would recommend!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 431 reviews · 7 hours · from $53 a head

Join Kavos Cruises for a seven-hour speedboat trip from Lefkimmi to the Blue Caves, Antipaxos, and Gaios.

Captain Spiros and the crew are known for a friendly onboard atmosphere, though the boat can feel sunny and lively on the return ride.

“The experience was beautiful, just as it was described, and overall we enjoyed it. However, I believe there is room for improvement in order to make it truly unforgettable and value for money. For instance, even small touches such as offering complimentary water would make a meaningful difference. Compared to other islands, the services and pricing still feel a bit behind. With some upgrades and more attention to detail, this cruise could definitely become a must-do experience”
