As soon as you’re picked up from your hotel, you’ll be taken to the port to embark. This way, you avoid the crowds and enjoy an early departure, guaranteeing a quieter experience. Lunch is served on board, in a unique marine setting.
Panormitis: a peaceful monastery before the rush
The first port of call is the monastery of Panormitis, dedicated to the Archangel Michael. Located in a quiet cove in the south-west of the island, the monastery also houses two small museums.
You arrive before the other boats. As a result, you can explore the premises in a serene atmosphere. The simple architecture, frescoes and sea views create the perfect moment of calm to start the day.
Symi: a colorful and elegant port
After the religious visit, head for the town of Symi, famous for its neoclassical harbour. The colorful houses stretch like amphitheaters around the bay. The setting is both picturesque and lively.
Afterwards, you’ll have free time to wander around, buy natural sponges or enjoy a coffee on the terrace. As you explore the narrow streets, you’ll discover the discreet charm of this Italian-influenced island.
Saint-Georges: wild swimming and lunch on board
The final stopover is at Saint-Georges, a spectacular bay surrounded by sheer cliffs. Its deep, clear waters are ideal for swimming. Enjoy a snorkeling session or a moment of relaxation on board.
Finally, lunch is served facing the sea. This gourmet break is the perfect end to this luxury private cruise to Symi, where culture, scenery and marine pleasure come together.
