Syros to Symi is a very long crossing, around ten and a half hours on the Blue Star 2, taking you from the middle of the Cyclades right down to the southeastern Dodecanese. It is a conventional ferry with cabins, and on a leg like this a berth is worth the extra. The routing calls at several islands on the way, which is what stretches the journey out.

Symi is a small island near Rhodes, and its harbour is the reason most people come. Tiers of colourful neoclassical and Italianate mansions rise up the hillsides around the bay, a legacy of the island's sponge-diving wealth. It is compact and easy to walk, with good seafood along the waterfront and the Panormitis monastery at the southern end of the island.

This sailing runs roughly once a week, so it is a route you build a trip around rather than drop into; no current timetable is published. Most travellers reach Symi via Rhodes instead, which has frequent short crossings all season.
