Saint George Bay
On the way to Symi, we visit the legendary St. George’s Bay. This secluded paradise is famous for its 300-meter vertical cliffs that shield the turquoise waters from the wind. ✦ What to do: We drop anchor, allowing you to jump directly from the boat into the crystal-clear sea. ✦ The Best Swim Stop: Spend around 1 hour at St. George’s Bay ✦Applies to specific packages only : a traditional Greek lunch will be served onboard from the St. George Bay stop through to arrival in Symi.

Symi
Remote yet cosmopolitan, Symi is often referred to as the ‘Jewel of the Dodecanese’, thanks to its breathtaking beauty and abundance of Old-World glamour. Experience the low-key charm and mesmerising architecture of this authentic Greek island on a luxurious day cruise to Symi with Mediterranean Sea Cruises. ✦You will have around 3 hours of free time to explore the most picturesque island in Greece. ✦ Architectural Landmarks: Walk the waterfront to see the Symi Clock Tower and the "Peace" statues of the sponge divers. ✦ Local Culture: Visit the famous Sponge Workshops to learn about Symi's deep-sea diving history and buy authentic sea sponges. ✦ Gastronomy: We highly recommend trying the famous "Symi Shrimp" (Simiako Garidaki) at a seaside taverna. These tiny, crispy shrimp are a local delicacy eaten whole.
