Okay but safety needs a review

Slow passport control leave most waiting in direct hot sunlight. Both ferry’s left late and weren’t exactly modern. Staff fine. Worst thing was both there and back some exits were blocked with bags and i not sure if we would all get out in an emergency- tripping up in the rush.

Smooth & well planned day trip

What a fabulous trip to book, I can’t recommend this enough. Our booking included hotel pick up & drop off too which made our day smooth. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The boat itself was smooth & comfortable and you can enjoy the views whilst travelling. Great way to spend a day.

Day trip to Rhodes from Marmaris

Transfer provided to and from port was excellent. From there you're on your own. Queue to clear Turkish immigration took 45 minutes, then boarded fast ferry ( does 30mph). Arrival at Rhodes, you thought Turkish immigration was bad! 70 minutes later cleared Greek immigration and customs ( no we weren't stopped). Just out side are scammers trying to get you to take taking "tours" charging €150 per person for 90 minutes. Ignore them and do short walk to main road, cross over and turn right, to when the 2 ond way roads meet. There's a hop on hop off bus tour that takes 1 hour to do the circle ( this is stop 8 of 12) and cost €20 per person ( card payment at the stall, cash payment on the bus) Stop 6 for the market, good deals if you look about. Bear in mind, there's only 1 bus, so it only gets to any particular stop once per hour so keep an eye on the time otherwise you're walking back to the port. 8 minutes after getting back on the bus, arrived at port, Greek immigration outbound still a nightmare, more than an hour, people still boarding just before ferry set sail

Well worth a Rhodes trip

They had to change the date of my trip to Rhodes due to bad weather, but they text me in good time and, unlike many corporate text messages, you can reply and they come back to you. Check-in was straightforward, though I had to pay a tax of £25 that I wasn't expecting (apparently it depends on who you book with - some include the tax, others don't). Bit of a queue checking in at Rhodes on the way back but don't panic, you will get on board. And ignore the 'check-in' kiosk. That's only if you don't have a boarding card. The ferry trip takes just over an hour. You're inside over two decks, so no smoking. Rhodes is well worth a visit if you are staying in Marmaris. But, if I'm honest, I loved Marmaris so much, I was happy I visited Turkey not Rhodes. Just wonderful.
