Hello all.This is my first post.I have been reading the posts for some time as after a day trip in 2014 we decided we would like to stay for longer on Symi.We are spending the first week of our holiday 9/9 to 16/9 on Rhodes and then travelling on to Symi for the second week.My question is regarding the ferries.The ideal ferry on the outward leg would seem to be the 15.00 Blue Star Diagoras but for the return on the 23rd we have a choice of Blue star 8.15 (would mean all day on rhodes with suitcases).Dodekanisos
Express 17.45 or skiadeni 16.15 either would be ideal for our flight times from Rhodes 21.10 but I believe that these times are often changed or schedules are affected by the weather .How likely is this? and would we need to book at all or could we play it by ear and book a day before when schedules would be known and weather etc may or not be a factor.
