Highlights
  • Medieval City - Start your day with a pickup from your centrally located Marmaris hotel or meet your air-conditioned vehicle at a pre-arranged location. Then, travel to the port and board your high-speed catamaran to Rhodes, the largest of the Greek Dodecanese islands.

Enjoy the views of the Aegean Sea as you make your 45-minute crossing to Rhodes Town, the island’s charming capital. Conveniently, the ferry port is an easy walk from the walled Rhodes Old Town, one of Europe’s best-preserved medieval cities.

When you arrive, you’re free to do as you wish, with no itineraries tying you down. Do as most visitors do and head straight for the UNESCO-listed Rhodes Old Town, entering through one of the seven gates in its walls. Then, spend the day exploring the cobbled streets and Gothic, Frankish and Ottoman gems of this stunning district founded by the Knights of St John in the 14th century.

Admire the Street of the Knights and visit the Palace of the Grand Masters, Archaeological Museum and Museum of Decorative Arts. Delve into the maze-like alleys to see the gorgeous medieval architecture; shop for Rhodean lace and ceramics, and sample Greek dishes at the tavernas and cafes.

Alternatively, hit the capital’s modern shopping district, laze on its beaches or absorb the views from historic Mandraki Harbour, once the site of the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. All entrance fees, meals and drinks are at your own expense.

Return to the port in the late afternoon to catch your catamaran back to Turkey. Then, on arrival in Marmaris enjoy a drop-off back at your hotel.

Excellent - Very good Journey , quick smooth and very successful day out in Rhodes. I really enjoyed that my transfer was on time and picked up at right location as well dropping us back. Only thing I would say is able to buy coffee and tea from boat would be better as well as having AC on during the journey.

Rhodes August 2023 - The whole experience of being on the island of Rhodes. Passport control less hectic, more efficient than two previous Greek island tours I’ve been on recently.

Trip to Turkey from Rhodes - Not the best decision we have made… Long wait to board ship very cramped and didn’t enjoy being herded through customs etc at Rhodes or Marmaris. Coach took us to a Gold Shop - felt very uncomfortable in this environment… being followed from stall to stall. Felt pressured to buy BUT we didn’t. Grand Bazaar wasn’t inspiring either!!! Had a good lunch on promenade recommended by a guide … Marmaris looked beautiful from the coach but not the area we were left in!!! NOT RECOMMENDED Very hot day and too long hanging around .

Would not go again - It was a long day , when you spend a lot of time in queues at passport control both ends. There are no shops selling perfume.

OK, Worth it! - The trip was good overall. When you get to the port the taxi drivers will offer 100 euro to take you to a beach no need as there is one 20 minute walk away which is nice. This beach is rocky but sunbeds, bars/restaurant are good and water is crystal blue. I would highly recommend you are at least 20 minutes early for your return ferry as the police officers are the worst if you are late, scream and shout at you like you are a child!!

Important Info….Please Read - Im sure the trip is great however, just because you buy the tour does not mean they actually have ferry tickets. Unfortunately, we learned the hard way and found out at 11 PM that they did not have tickets for us the next day. Make sure you are checking your WhatsApp and email because they will contact you if they don’t have tickets. I wish they would have taken down the tour availability for the day the ferry tickets were not available so that we did not purchase and plan our whole day around the tour. They were hoping we could just go the next day but we could not. Its not fair to the customer. Luckily, we got a full refund.

Horrendous day trip - Viator perfect as always this particular trip is horrendous DONT DO IT” if you do be aware it’s a day trip and you will have to go through passport control 4 times each gate only has two offices available on the return journey it’s even worse you’re told to arrive an hour early then left stood in a disorderly que in a car park for 60 minutes before being allowed inside the departure terminal only then to be put into another queue for a further 45 minutes day trip from he’ll

Don’t do it - No better than booking yourself and taking a taxi. Bus was late and then yelled at us for being outside and in front of our hotel (as per the directions) and not in the street. No info given about tickets or how to check in it even pick up times.
