CRUISES TO

HEAVEN

Unravel the Mediterranean beauty
departing from the Island of
Knights.

SYMI, THE PICTURESQUE CHARM
Enrich your holiday photo album by taking a photo of the Aegean
Sea’s traditional beauty, Symi. Board on the “SYMI II” by Sea
Dreams from the tourist port of Rhodes at 09:00 and head to the Symi
picturesque island with the colourful houses, the imposing mansions,
the fishing boats and the sponge shops that -along with the sea
breeze- confirm your presence at a true Greek island. Discover the Marmaris
long tradition of sponge diving, stroll around the small alleys and
smell rich aromas from herbs and spices. Enjoy a splash in the deep
blue Aegean Sea and taste fresh fish, octopus, calamari and the
famous Symi’s shrimps in local taverns and restaurants. Do not miss
the next stop to Panormitis Bay. You will be fascinated by both the
crystal clear turquoise water and the imposing Holy Monastery of
Panormitis, built in the 18th century, known for its miracles, with
an impressive bell dedicated to the patron saint of the island,
Archangel Michael. Feel free to embrace peace and tranquility.
MARMARIS, THE EASTERN SPIRIT
For those looking for an “acquaintance” with the East side of the
summer, Sea Dreams gives you the opportunity to find yourselves
in two countries within a day. Sailing at 09:00 from the tourist Symi
port of Rhodes on board the catamaran “King Saron”, you will reach
the cosmopolitan Turkish resort town within an hour. Marmaris’
mountainside is surrounded by olive groves and surrenders to the
pine forests’ fragrance, giving the town a distinct Turkish scent. Take
a stroll along the Netsel Marina and view the yachts fastened in
their moorings. Catch a glimpse of Marmaris Castle and Museum,
take a historical trip to the era of the Ottoman Empire and enjoy the
stunning view of the marina. Enter a jewelry or a Turkish delights’
shop and discover one of Turkish tradition’s most important parts. As
for shopping lovers, meet the Bazaar -a typical eastern marketplace
with several shops- and choose among authentic Turkish keepsakes,
clothing, leather jackets, bags, shoes, spices and the traditional apple
tea. Enjoy a rejuvenating bath in an authentic Turkish hammam and
let yourself feel the oriental essence.
