“This boat got us there in about 1hr and 10 min. We diembarked at 1223. It was super rough so be ready. I get motion sickness but knew I needed to watch the horizon no matter where I sat. Even sitting on the end doesn't help. The staff and company was very nice and looked after those that got sick. We walked around Symi for 3hrs... got back to the location at 320...which meant we missed our ride back. My husband swore up and down they said 1530. 😫 The shopping, food and atmosphere were great. The best!! We got back to the ship where it was docked when we…”
