We get you to the harbor faster than any other boat, you have around 4 hours to experience the town without the rush. ❤️ The Amphitheater of Color As we glide into the harbor of Gialos, have your camera ready. You will see rows of pastel-colored mansions rising up the hillside. This is one of the best-preserved neoclassical towns in Europe and a protected architectural site. ❤️ The Heart of the Sponge Trade Symi was once the world center for deep-sea sponge diving. Use your extra time to visit the traditional sponge workshops along the waterfront. Meet the local experts who still use traditional methods to clean and prepare authentic sea sponges—the perfect natural souvenir. ❤️ Gastronomy & The Famous Symi Shrimp Four hours is plenty of time for a long, relaxed Greek lunch. We recommend finding a table at a waterfront taverna to try "Simiako Garidaki" (Symi Shrimp). These tiny, flavorful shrimp are unique to this island’s waters and are traditionally served fried and eaten whole.

- We offer pick-ups from all the hotels in Rhodes island. Transfer service is available for a small additional supplement, which depends on how far is located your hotel (visible during checkout). It includes both ways: pick-up from your hotel, and after the trip drop off back. When booking select an option that covers the area where is located your hotel. For example: if you stay in Faliraki, select option "Pickup: Faliraki, Ialyssos". ❓ What if my hotel isn't on the list? Don't worry! We pick up from almost everywhere in Rhodes. If you don't see your hotel in the dropdown menu, you have two easy options: ● During Booking: Simply type your hotel name into the "Special Requirements" field. Once we receive your booking, we will manually confirm your exact pick-up time and location. ● Contact Us Directly: Send us a quick message with your hotel name, and we will let you know the closest meeting point and pick up time within 24 hours. ❓ Arriving on Your Own? (Parking & Tips) If you are staying in Rhodes Town or have a rental car, you can meet us directly at our office at 09:15-09:30 AM. ● Important Note on Parking: Please be aware that parking in Rhodes Town near the harbor can be very challenging, especially during the summer months. ● The "1-Hour Rule": If you choose to drive, we strongly recommend arriving at least one hour early to search for a parking space. ● Paid Parking: Most spots near the port are paid zones and fill up quickly. ● Our Recommendation: To avoid the "parking headache" and ensure a stress-free start to your holiday, we highly recommend booking a transfer with us. Let us handle the driving and drop you off right at the check-in point!
