Rhodes → Symi
Starting your journey in Rhodes, where mediaeval walls murmur stories of knights, Sail to Symi, a jewel-box harbor of neoclassical homes set against ochre and peach. Climb 500 steps to the Panormitis Monastery, its bells ringing above turquoise seas, then eat symian shrimp in a riverside taverna as evening gilds the bay. Arriving early will help you to avoid the monastery's noon throngs.

Dica de atracação
Stern-to in Yialos harbour (free, fills before 13:00 in July–August). Drop bow anchor — clear bottom but watch for old chains. Pedi Bay (next cove) is the calmer overflow.
