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

Upon arrival in Symi, you'll have the day free to explore the island at your leisure. Stroll along its rocky coastline and appreciate the neoclassical buildings on the waterfront.

Symi is the birthplace of the Charities, known as The Three Graces, tied closely to its culture. The island is named after the nymph Syme.

During your visit, you can explore Ano Symi, home to the Knights of St John Castle, the Monastery of St Michael the Archangel in a beautiful bay, and the Monastery of Sotiris Megalos in Panormitis.

At the end of the day, we'll meet at the agreed time at Symi port for the return boat trip to Rhodes, concluding the excursion with a drop-off at your hotel around 5 pm.
