Symi is a delightful village, offering charming streets perfect for leisurely exploration. I highly recommend a visit to the Panormitis Sponge Shop, where they provide fascinating insights into sponges, including their various types and textures, and even offer complimentary items with your purchase. Upon arrival at the port, a large number of boats often disembark simultaneously, creating a bustling atmosphere as visitors head to the restaurants. We chose to explore first, eventually discovering a lovely fish market restaurant with approximately an hour and a half remaining before our boat's departure, which resulted in a more tranquil dining experience with attentive service at the Taverna International restaurant. The host kindly offered us complimentary melon after our meal.
Great fast trip to Symi,...

The tickets produced by viator took us to the wrong pick up point or wrong time as it had already left! We were sent to another pick up Point but it had also left by the third pick up point they had managed to let the boat know so it waited for us and we got on just in time. The staff at each point were great which was lucky for us but disappointed in the fact that tickets were issued incorrectly and probably won’t use Viator again based on this. Would recommend the trip but not viator.
