5.00The crew hand out fleeces for the journey so no need to pack a jumper. The seats are very comfy, like gaming chairs but because they're spongy they can be damp from spray / rain so take a plastic bag to sit on to avoid a soggy bum! Really enjoyed the whole trip.
Lovely day!

4.00I suggest spending a bit more time in St. George's Bay. There isn't a lot to do besides eat lunch and look at the tourist shops. We were waiting for the boat to let us back on. Thus spend one and half hours + at Saint George, ideally going after Symi because you don't really want to be walking around wet in Symi.
Must visit
