Why travel by ferry from Symi to Rhodes?

Whether you're travelling alone, as a couple 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 a ferry from Symi to Rhodes is an ideal way to travel.

Resting in a cabin
Although it is not compulsory to make the crossing from Symi to Rhodes by booking a cabin, you are depriving yourself of a comfort that the ferry is the only mode of transport to offer. Equipped with berths, private bathrooms and sometimes even portholes or balconies, the cabins are not unlike real hotel rooms. While their use is most obvious on an overnight crossing, it is perfectly possible to book one during the day.
Transporting your bike is not a problem
Travelling with your bike on a train, plane or bus is often a nightmare because it is so cumbersome to carry. However, on a ferry, you don't have this problem: your bike is loaded directly into the ship's huge garage. 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 you compare the speed, the plane is certainly the fastest way to get from Symi to Rhodes. But you are stuck in your seat, strapped in by your seatbelt, and there is almost no opportunity to travel. During the Symi Rhodes ferry journey with Sea Dreams, Blue Star Ferries, Dodekanisos Seaways, Sebeco Lines or Anes Ferries, there are countless opportunities to enjoy restaurants and bars, or to stroll and sunbathe on a promenade deck... You will never have so much freedom and entertainment during a flight!
