Positives: transfers were good, a bit haphazard with timings but that’s ok. Boat was spectacular. Symi was a joy, what a stunning place and the restaurant we found up a side street , Taverna Napaloa, served great fresh food at a very reasonable price. It’s easy to while away 3 hours in Symi, a leisurely stroll around the harbour looking at the lovely stalls and shops and a stop off for a beer while looking out…”
