Why take a ferry from Symi to Leros ?

Whether you're travelling solo, with a partner or with the family, a Symi to Leros ferry can be a convenient and enjoyable option for getting to Leros. Here are 3 reasons why we think Symi to Leros ferry is an ideal way to travel.

No need to worry about traveling with your bike
Traveling with your bike by train, plane or bus often turns into a nightmare because it is so cumbersome to carry it. However, on a ferry, you don't have this problem: your bike is loaded directly into the huge garage of the boat. You leave it there for the duration of the Symi-Leros crossing in complete safety and without fear of it being damaged. You will get on your bike in Leros to get off the boat.
It's much less boring than on a plane
Generally, to get to Leros or anywhere else, the plane is the fastest way. The problem is that you are stuck in your seat for several hours. During the Symi Leros ferry trip with Dodekanisos Seaways or Blue Star Ferries, there are countless opportunities for entertainment with restaurants and bars, or to stroll and sunbathe on a promenade deck... A totally different experience from a flight!
Resting in a cabin
Although it is not compulsory to book a cabin for the crossing from Symi to Leros, you are depriving yourself of a comfort that the ferry is the only mode of transport to offer. Equipped with bunks, private bathrooms and sometimes even portholes or balconies, the cabins are just like real hotel rooms. Even on a day crossing, enjoying the privacy of a cabin is still possible and much more comfortable than sitting in a lounge.
