Excellent day trip to Kos - We got picked up at our hotel fairly much on time. They had to do several other pick ups before arriving at the ferry terminal. It took a bit of time to get through passport control and security but we got to our boat with time. The boat trip was about half an hour and smooth. Then queue up for security again before finally free to spend day in Kos! We had a great time looking at a couple of sites, shop around, went to the beach and had a late but very good value seafood lunch before heading back to ferry. It was good to get picked up again after we got back and in to our hotel about 7pm. Good service overall.

To another continent for a moment...Asia Turkey - The speedboat ride takes about 30 minutes. You can't get a bargain in the shops in Bodrum. Sellers get mad when you don't buy anything. There was no organization at customs on the way back. No rows...the staff was overwhelmed.

Long day out - interesting though - Whilst it was an enjoyable day out, there was a lot of waiting about. Obviously, leaving Turkey and arriving in Greece means passport control both ways which took quite a bit of time - standing in the heat. Once in Kos there was quite a bit to see, the Castle (closed to the public) an old gymnasium, Hypocrites tree. Plenty of shops and places to eat. To fill the time we took a trip on the blue road train - which seemed to drive around for about 30 minutes round some of the sites, but with no commentary or information given. We were in Kos town for around 6 hours before returning to the port for another long wait in a queue. The ferry was clean and quick - be prepared for a bit of choppy water. Also be aware there is a €15 port tax to be paid. The day was a bit to long for wandering around.

Kos Day Trip Good but Rushed and Fees Unclear - Check-in and boarding were simple. Passport control took some time which is normal. We were charged a 15 Euro port fee per person. The ticket said the port fee was not included so that was fine but it should be clear how much it is. I asked using the contact given but they could not say the amount. For a daily crossing they should know what is charged and explain it properly. I do not understand why it is not clear. The return time was fixed at 4 p.m. with boarding starting at 3 p.m. This was not clear when booking so we had around five hours in Kos. It made the day feel rushed. Kos is nice. It is a lovely town with lots of shops, old streets and interesting ruins to see. It deserves more time than we had. Check exactly what is included, confirm how much the port fee is and see if you can get a later ferry and if there is any extra cost for that.

Once but never again - The boat trip itself was well arranged. Just in time. Keep in mind that you have to go through customs both on the way and back. Bodrum itself I hated! The people so pushy, against the antisocial. Most food and drink establishments are incredibly expensive. I myself found it very hot, but that is personal. The only positive was the castle near the marina. This was really very interesting and neatly maintained. Don't try to stock up on your smoking goods duty free, because you can only take them back to Greece on a limited basis. At the duty free shop in Bodrum they try to sell you as much as possible, but back on Kos you have to go through the control. Final score, with a 20-minute boat ride you really find yourself in a totally different culture and country. We've been there, but never again for us. We were happy to be back in Kos.
