I have been watching live marine traffic.There is a passenger vessel sailing from Pireaus to Rhodes called Symi.Could this be the answer to our prayers or just wishful thinking ???????????

That is an ANES ferry Symi which was a passenger car and truck carrying ship. Unfortunately it now only has a licence for passengers so it's used as a day trip boat from Rhodes to Symi and most likely won't take passengers with luggage. I do think that a regular service will be sorted out quite soon as the island depends on tourism for the bulk of it's income.

Our favourite place to push in a couple of hours In Rhodes is Socrates Garden in the Old Town - walk up the main thoroughfare - well up past the Swatch Shop and the old hookah house and you will find a passageway on your right with a parrot and there is a green oasis in the heart of the old town. Lovely ice cold draft Mythos !!!

Actually hope for a couple of hours stop-over just to be able to visit :P

We always leave our bags behind the Dodec Kiosk and never have had a problem.

Enjoy.

[/quote]Is it? I can't see it. Maybe it's hidden by the Nikolaos.

You must have spotted it on its 'Mystery Tour'. According to the schedule it leaves Rhodes at 09.00 and returns at 16.50 but doesn't actually go anywhere! :D
