Although you will be responsible for your own travel to Symi, we are happy to help advise you with your travel plans and help you to mange your transfer from Rhodes to the island. 


Getting There


Symi is a Greek island, part of the Dodecanese island group. There is no airport on Symi and it can only be reached by boat.

 

Most visitors to the island fly to Rhodes, or Kos and then catch a ferry to Symi. (Kos island has a shorter flight time from the UK but the ferry trip is longer).

Flights to Rhodes can sometimes connect with ferry services but most opt for an overnight stop in Rhodes and a ferry from Mandraki harbour the next day.

Rhodes airport is 16 kilometres from the town harbour and there are plenty of buses and taxis. Although there is no dedicated airport hotel, accommodation is plentiful along the route from airport to harbour.


Before You Go

Group sizes


We have a limited number of spaces available, as we only offer 15 places on each retreat. We find this keeps our retreats personal and allows for our guests to really connect with their fellow adventurers. It also means our teachers and staff are able to provide a dedicated and personal service to our guests during the retreat.


Fitness  


We welcome people of all nationalities and backgrounds, and our retreats are open to all levels of experience from complete beginner to the more experienced yogi. Please note that during An Island Adventure there are a few (gentle) walking and hiking activities that require an adequate level of fitness.
