Hi LisaB,
Glad you liked the photos on the other thread.
Was just thinking that if you do want an awayday to experience another island when on Symi next year there is always the Dodekanisos ferry service which comes from Rhodes and goes through Symi between 8 - 9am on certain days and is like a bus service to many of the Islands in the Dodecanese. It reaches a turning point and comes back through Symi late afternoon. The likes of Kos and Kalymnos can be reached with a decent few hours on those islands and we have seen that there are sometimes good discounts advertised late in the season.
Dodekanisos Seaways has an excellent website at
www.12ne.gr where it advertises Daily Excursions so that will give you an idea of what’s possible.
Have to say that despite the number of times we have visited Symi we have still to do this ourselves - somehow time on Symi just disappears but maybe in 2018
