Transporting your bike is not a problem

All ships are equipped with lounges, restaurants, promenade decks, and sometimes much more... It is not impossible that you will have the impression of arriving too quickly in Kos as the experience is so pleasant!
Not to be bored on board... unlike the plane
If we compare the speed, the plane is certainly the fastest way to go from Symi to Kos. But you are stuck in your seat, tied down by your seatbelt and the opportunities to move around are almost nil.
