Naxos to Symi Ferry
Leaving Naxos behind, this ferry journey carries you from the broad beaches and whitewashed villages of the Cyclades towards Symi, a jewel of the Dodecanese known for its steep hillsides and harbour lined with colourful neoclassical houses. The Naxos – Symi route links two very different faces of the Greek islands: Naxos feels spacious and earthy, while Symi has a more intimate, maritime character shaped by the Aegean and its proximity to Rhodes.

It is a rewarding choice for travellers combining island landscapes, Greek food and slow days by clear water.
