Boat trips with the Maria
I took the bus down from the village with Mother yesterday, receiving a cheery welcome from Thanasis as always. In Yialos, he gave me a leaflet advertising a new set of trips organised by Lakis Travel. I’d not heard of these before so I thought I’d scan the leaflet so you can also share it. The boat, the Maria, is running day trips seven days per week and taking groups of people to some of the more inaccessible bays around Symi; Sarpes Island, St Sidoros and Taviri, for example. The trips also take in Str Emilianos, Nanou, St George and other places according to the daily itinerary, plus it’s available for private parties, weddings and so on. Here’s the front cover (sorry about the fold):
If you’re not sure where Lakis travel is, it’s on the south side of the harbour, that’s the same side as the bus stop and taxis, along the waterfront. There’s a sign outside, so you can’t miss it. I’m not sure of the prices of these trips yet, but the flyer tells me they run from 10.30 to 17.00 each day. You can always phone to enquire: +30 6944 899 625 for the mobile, and the landline at the office is +30 22460 71695.
Here’s wishing Lakis, Thanasis and the team all the best with this new venture.
There are other boat trips, and other travel agencies arranging all kinds of excursions too. There are many trips on offer on Symi thanks to Symi Tours, Panormitis Travel, the taxi boats, the Poseidon, Diagoras… Just walk around Yialos, and you will see the boats and agencies offering a wealth of trips and excursions.
