Itinerary
Our fantastic journey starts with a free pick-up from your hotel. Our driver will take you for a short and comfy ride to Bodrum port, where you will board our impressive high-speed ferry, and we will sail west, toward the gorgeous Kos island.
As you reach the port in the morning, the first we do is get your boarding cards. After obtaining the boarding cards, you must pass through the passport control and the customs. No seat numbers are assigned on your boarding cards; you can choose to take any of the available seats in the ferry.
After a smooth twenty-minute ferry journey across the Aegean, we will step onto Greek soil.
After your arrival to Rhodes you need to pass through the customs.
In the harbor of Kos Town. You will have six hours of free time to roam its charming narrow streets. With its unique scenery of beautifully pastel-colored houses, archeological sites and lovely churches, Kos is a new dimension on its own. With numerous temples, castles, theatres, as well its modern town square vibrant with chic cafes and stylish shops, Kos island is every tourist’s dream.

Traveler reviews
Lovely Day Trip to Kos
Lovely day trip to Kos, the boat trip was straight forward and nice. Passport queue was long. However, we jumped the queue because we had a baby. 7 hours was enough time to see all the sights of Kos Town & grab a nice Greek Lunch
I would not do it again with the problems at the ports.
Arrival and departure at the ports in Kos and Bodrum is too time-consuming - about 90 minutes each. Waiting time - without enough seating! The old town area by the harbor in Bodrum is very touristy, yet quite nice.
Horrible Trip
Horrible Trip, from pick up , journey was supposed to be 40 minutes 4 hours later still on boat. When contacted my agent he was zero help, told me if I put a review I wouldn’t be refunded and no sign of refund whatsoever. Would not recommend.
Cancelled trip
The trip was cancelled the day before, which they said was due to 'travel conditions' unsuitable for ferry crossing. We were able to book with a different provider and the sea couldn't have been calmer. Still waiting for my refund!!!!
Overall it was a great experience and recommended.
Easy to book through trip advisor, response from the tour company was immediate and we were kept informed of all the requirements ahead of the trip they were great to arrange pick up and drop off from our hotel even if it was not listed. Pick up from the hotel was prompt, passport control requires a payment 15€ payment per person and they do take card payments. Border and passport control move along moved faster for EU passport holders. Otherwise pace was good. Needed a bit more information from the tour company on what we can do on the island and basically we planned our own day trip, it’s really easy to get around in Kos people are super friendly. A tip for eSIM packages arrange for data before leaving Bodrum as the mobile network in Kos is different. Also note currency is in euros, however, can draw money or use cards.
