Why travel by ferry from Kos to Symi?

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

Taking your time becomes a pleasure
It is well known that we live in a society where everything has to go fast, faster and faster. Sailing at less than 40km/h on board a Blue Star Ferries or Dodekanisos Seaways ferry for the 36 mi between Kos and Symi will be a relaxing stop. All ships are equipped with lounges, restaurants, promenade decks, and sometimes much more... You may even find your Kos-Symi crossing a little too short!
Take an unlimited amount of luggage
With the train, bus or plane, an excess of one free piece of luggage is often applied and each additional piece of luggage generates an additional cost. On the Kos Symi ferry, you can take as much luggage as you like, within the capacity of your vehicle. If you are travelling as a pedestrian, the conditions may be more restrictive as you will need to carry your luggage with you until you arrive in Symi. However, it is worth asking the Blue Star Ferries or Dodekanisos Seaways staff if the ship has a luggage storage facility where you can leave your bags until you reach Symi.
You get much more rest than in the car
Long car journeys are tiring and require constant vigilance when driving. Conversely, a Kos Symi boat trip is ultra relaxing. Ferries operated by Blue Star Ferries or Dodekanisos Seaways are designed with areas dedicated to relaxation or entertainment: lounges or cabins, outdoor solarium, bars and restaurants... You arrive in Symi stress-free and totally relaxed.
