The bar when first boarding on the return journey has no change usually I have experienced this in poor but not on an organised trip. The trip to the island is well worth it but try and check out the boat before booking. The service was excellent, the driver very good, the buses comfortable, not expensive, you take it from the centre of the city. We went with Half-Price Tours and in general thought this was a very good company.

Symi island is incredibly beautiful, one of the best we've seen. You have to go there. The excursion takes you up on the mountain where you get some spectacular views of SYMI and the surrounding sea. When we left,we were driven to a beautiful beach,a bit pebbly,where we swam and then had a very nice lunch at the beach taverna at our expense. This hidden gem is a must see.
