Skip the overpriced harbor sponges and hit a back-alley taverna for signature fried Symi shrimp instead. Tackle the 500-step Kali Strata before noon to avoid heatstroke and secure your grid content. Wear actual sneakers or you will roll an ankle on these steep, marble paths. Book a fast boat from Rhodes for that one-hour transit, but confirm your ticket includes a swimming stop at St. George Bay. Bring plenty of water and expect to sweat.
