Boat trip Kos bodrum - Very nice experience. Have even seen dolphins along the way. Approaching Bodrums is a party. You arrive at the harbour and walk straight into the city

Best day trip I had so far - The booking was easy and pretty quick.
From the day of the trip we received precise instructions on where to go and how to check-in for the boat.
The travel itself was beautiful. The water was light blue and sun was burning, so definitely recommend Sunglasses and a hat. Also take a little water with you while being on the boat.
The route is pretty quickly driven and the boat had a pleasant speed.
Landing in Bodrum has been easy and quick as well.
Both security checks where quickly done and we could spend around 6 hours in the city to visit various sights and also have a good seafood meal.
I recommend the trip to Bodrum with this agency. They are helpful and know exactly what they are doing.

Business life on Bodrum - Attention: Take your passport with you as customs controls take place for entry and exit. These are tedious, as it is estimated that about 1.5 hours of the entire trip is spent only on customs.
Bodrum itself is a lively place with a lot of tourism, many business arcades, nice restaurants and beautiful alleys off the main routes.
Attention: Fakes everywhere that look perfect. However, border controls are very strict and are targeted for such purchases. So a bargain quickly becomes a loss.

Trip to Bodrum was good,... - Trip to Bodrum was good, we had enough time to sample the city.
Unfortunately we had a 50 minute wait for our transfer upon our return to Kos which took the shine off a good day.

Boat trip to bodrum - The crossing went well despite the crowds. We found it a culture shock when we arrived in Bodrum. Even though we have been on holiday in Turkey for years. It was immediately hot, hectic and chaos. Spent a few hours walking around the otherwise beautiful Bodrum. But so nice to be on Greek soil again and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of Kos Town.
Regarding the organization. Everything was well organised. There was a bus waiting to take us to the center of Bodrum and back to the boat a few hours later.

To flee - Excursion very expensive for what it is! 310 euros to visit a shop , mills that fall into ruins surrounded by glass debris and others..happy that there was a beautiful view...then we were taken to a restaurant ( I think in partnership with tui ) hyper expensive quality without more , a nice scam!
As for the shops you have to negotiate everything and the Turks get angry very quickly so we only wanted to run away!
We found the city dirty and not welcoming.

We did it. That's about it - It was ok. However we were picked up way too early. So waited at the port for an hour and a half. Then another hour on the boat. The ferry was 50minutes, not 20 or 30. Then another 40 minutes at passport control in Bodrum. There was a few nice shops, but mostly fake bags and fashion. The place that was recommended for food by our tour guide cost us 64 euro for 2 kebabs, which was ridiculous, so it seems like they get something for bringing people there. We got about 2 and half or three hours to wonder around, which was more than enough. Line to passport check was long going back too, in both Bodrum and Kos

Car rental abbycar in KOS to avoid - I rented a car with abbycar in KOS from 1 to 11 July with autoeurope, paying with american express the rental. Upon arrival I was not given the car as they did not accept the American express already used x the prepaid rental and even my wife's master card available for payment of the additional driver. For the release of the car the owner asked 350 euros x his additional insurance, much more expensive than the entire rental, which, therefore, I gave up.
