My wife and I are going to Symi in September and we have been travelling independently many times.
We have been forced to accept that you have to stay on Rhodes for one night on the way to Symi and for one night on the way home.
The problem is, as most of you might know, the ferry timetable not the arrival time of flights.
We arrive around midday from Denmark, but at that time the one daily ferry -Spanos - has left.
Going home we must be in the airport two hours before departure and the plane leaves too early, so we can not be sure to catch the plane, if we go by the morning ferry from Symi.
But we have accepted the conditions. Always look on the bright sides of life .
We have booked flights and accommodation at Taxiarchis as usual and are just waiting for the timetable for the ferries, we use to book as soon as it is possible.
On Rhodes we have time to go by bus from the airport to the town and Plaza Hotel and have time enough to go sight-seeing. On our way home we have a relaxed day and just a trip by taxi to the airport and the flight from Rhodes to Aalborg to undertake.
How are you going to and from Symi?
See you on Symi in September.
