By Boat

From Piraeus

There are at least 2-3 ferries a week from the port of Piraeus to the island of Symi throughout the year. The route is served only by conventional ferries and the journey lasts 12-14 hours depending on the number of stops at other Aegean Islands. The route is normally operated by Blue Star Ferries. If you are travelling from abroad, you can get a direct flight to Rhodes, Kos or Athens and then take a ferry to Symi. There are frequent ferries from Rhodes to Symi and the crossing duration is from 1 to 1.5 hours.
