Rhodes → Symi
Starting your journey at Rhodes, where crusaders' stories and mediaeval walls set the scene, Sail to Symi, a postcard-perfect harbor where ochre and peach blushing neoclassical homes abound. Climb the 500 steps to Panormitis Monastery, whose bells resound over blue seas, then feast on symian shrimp at a riverside bara as the sun sets behind the hills. Arriving early will help you to avoid the noon boat 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 is the calmer overflow anchorage.
