Why take a ferry from Symi to Rhodes ?

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

Resting in a cabin
Although it is not compulsory to book a cabin for the crossing from Symi to Rhodes, 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. If their use is more obvious during a night crossing, it is perfectly possible to book one during the day.
Transporting your bike is not a problem
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-Rhodes crossing in complete safety and without fear of it being damaged. You will find it when you disembark on your arrival in Rhodes.
It's much less boring than on a plane
If we compare the speed, the plane is certainly the fastest way to go from Symi to Rhodes. But you are stuck in your seat, tied down by your seatbelt and the opportunities to move around are almost nil. During the Symi Rhodes ferry trip with Sea Dreams, Blue Star Ferries, Dodekanisos Seaways, Sebeco Lines or Anes Ferries, there are countless opportunities for entertainment with restaurants and bars, or to stroll and sunbathe on a promenade deck... You will never have so much freedom and entertainment during a flight!
