Symi Island + Panormitis Monasteries Day Trip

Explore one of Greece's best-kept secrets at your own pace with this full day trip to the island of Symi from Rhodes. Visit its historic monasteries, stroll through its charming streets and delve into its legendary mythology.

Symi Island Day Trip

We will pick you up from your hotel in Rhodes and take you to Mandraki Port. There, you will board a boat that will take you to Symi, part of the Dodecanese island chain.

Upon reaching Symi, you will have the whole day free to explore the island at your leisure. Walk along its rocky coastline and admire the neoclassical buildings on the waterfront.

Symi is known as the birthplace of the Charities, or The Three Graces, reflecting its rich mythology. The island is named after the nymph Syme.

During your visit, you will have the opportunity to explore Ano Symi, which features the Knights of St John Castle. It is also recommended to visit the Monastery of St Michael the Archangel, located in a scenic bay, and the Monastery of Sotiris Megalos in Panormitis.

After a full day on the island, we will reconvene at Symi port to return to Rhodes. The excursion concludes with a drop-off at your hotel around 5 pm.
