OVERVIEW

CATAMARAN BOAT TO SYMI ISLAND AND PANORMITIS FROM FALIRAKI

Take a full day trip with our catamaran boat to Symi island and arrive first of all other boats. The island is famous for colorful neo-classical house facades, charming fishermen boats, sponge diving traditions and delicious sea food.

OVERVIEW

Be picked up from your hotel or the nearest pickup location and be brought to the port, where you will receive your boarding card and tips for the day.

It takes approximately 1 hour to reach the island of Symi. You can sit on the deck or inside, wherever you feel is most comfortable.

Entering the little harbour of Symi you will be amazed by the colourful houses and many private sailing boats and yachts. You will then have approximately 5 hours of free time for your visit. Symi village is full of beautiful, neo-classical mansions, folk and art shops, many cafeterias, hospitable taverns and stalls with sponges and wooden carvings.

Feel the authentic atmosphere, have a casual walk through the port, get the fun train for a great drive through Symi town, go for a swim or enjoy a nice meal in one of the many sea-front taverns.

Our next stop is the Holy Monastery of Archangel Michael of PANORMITIS. As you approach the Monastery, you will hear Church bells ringing, warmly welcoming all the pilgrims, explorers, holidaymakers & curious travelers. The Holy Monastery is a treasury of the Greek-Orthodox culture. The contemporary church was built in 1783 and hosts the miraculous all silver-plated icon of Archangel Michael. The main architectural feature of the Monastery is an impressive bell tower, a mixture of Baroque and Renaissance styles. The monastery also houses two museums with a large collection of ecclesiastical art, icons, ship model offerings and important objects of the island’s folk culture. Admire the 18th c. wall paintings, light a candle for good luck and walk around to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of this holy place.

At the end the Catamaran will bring you back to Rhodes harbor

We booked this trip through Faliraki Tours. Staying in Faliraki we left our hotel about 8.15 a.m. caught the boat in Rhodes about 9.a.m.and we arrived back at the hotel about 7.p.m. True it is quite a long day but if you researched the trip beforehand this should not come as a surprise. The crossing was very enjoyable both ways, the weather was good and the sea trip took about 1.hr each way. On the outgoing journey we stopped at the main town-Symi- where there was plenty of time for lunch etc and to generally relax. There are the usual tourist shops - some specialising in natural sponges . Walking around the streets of Symi you feel almost like you are going back in time. We then moved on to Panormitis about an hour-just time to look round the monastery.. On a day trip there is little chance to do any wider exploring but if you like a boat trip to a lovely island with quite unique looking properties, Symi is worth the trip.

This was a wonderful trip and the boat was great. You can sit on the top deck and catch the sun, or open/covered second deck and finally air conditioned inside bar. It's a smooth sailing trip and my favorite place was Symi. We stayed there for five hours. Walked around this magical place with beautiful traditional colored houses, shops and restaurants. The water here is as clear as crystal, so my daughter and I went for a swim, after a delicious Greek lunch and just enjoyed the rest of our time there. A visit to panormitis monastery is a Must !!! We found this trip from Vicky in Faliraki Tours and it was a lot cheaper than any hotel excursion and it's Greek which means your money goes to the Greek economy rather than travel agencies abroad. Go for it, it's worth it.

We booked our tour with Faliraki Tours, and it was well organised , very enjoyable and very good value for money. We sat on the upper deck of the ship, which affords splendid views, either in the sun or under cover in the heat of the day. Panormitis Monastery somehow manages to be peaceful despite the crowds of people, and Gialos in Symi is exceedingly pretty, with many harbour-side tavernas and cafes for lunch and ice cream. In both places we were free to wander where we wanted to, at our own speed. We were glad that we had booked an excursion that included the monastery A must-do excursion during a visit to Rhodes. Special thanks to Vicky, in the booking office, who was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient.

Ein Ausflug steht und fällt mit dem Reiseleiter: Gabriel war sehr authentisch und man fühlte sich vom ersten Augenblick als Teil seiner "Familie". Tolle Führung, Insider Tipps fürs Essen, kurzweilige und interessante Beiträge. Nicht zu viel und nicht zu knapp. Ausreichend Zeit für Essen und Besichtigung. Klare empfehlung !!!
