Marmaris rhodes boat trip.

We booked the boat trip across from Marmaris to Rhodes for the day with Marmaris Travel. The tour was well organized, it was nice to visit the old town and walk around the old castle walls of the town. You can buy the hoponhopoff ticket for 12euro but we did not really use it much. Was a good day out all in all.

day trip to rodos

We have been to Rhodes twice from Marmaris, this is a great trip and well worth money. We paid 34 £ online with Marmaris Travel, on the street its around 40 £ and hotel wanted 45 £. Price was the best, it is an all day tour with hotel transfer. Catamaran takes an hour to arrive to Rhodes. There is always a queue at customs, but a well worth tour.

We has a day trip from Marmaris to Rhodes and it was a good day , but takes longer to get there than they say, and it really takes some time to get through customs so delayed for 45 minutes on return. We had about 4 half hours there which was really nice.

We did a boat trip from Marmaris to Rhodes , which was fairly quick and comfortable although you can only stay on one level. Very Reasonably Priced, but depends who you book through as we were quoted different prices by each so we booked online from the best price. We had plenty of time in the town to look around and there is lots to see and do. I would say you can probably see everything in a day. We had a lovely traditional Greek meal and there are lots of cafes and restaurants about. It was a beautiful island and the locals are very friendly. There are some little shops and stalls to look round and the island has its own individual history to look into. Saw enough in one day but could go back for longer stay and visit surrounding areas.

We booked Marmaris Rhodes Ferry Tickets online from excursionmarmaris.com. Picked up near our hotel and taken to the harbor to catch the Ferry (only takes around 1 hour). With a short walk we were inside the walls of the old town. The old town is magnificent and there are some great places to eat but it is really expensive, cost us 70 euros to eat in Rhodes for a family of 4. But the trip was very nice.

Me and my family were in Marmaris for a week holiday and decided to go and visit on a day trip. So that we can say that i was an in Greece. There were shops and restaurants will many different options and aome beautiful historical sites. It was a nice place to be visited but not as nice as Marmaris.

We choose to book our day trip to Rhodes from Marmaris by Mares Travel. Not only the most reasonable price offer but also they made thing easier for us. They did all the paper work for us, easy to communicate. Really enjoyed the day, it didn’t take long to get there and had plenty of time in Rhodes. While in Rhodes can the open top bus tour which will let you see historical sites at island.

Day trip to Rhodes from Marmaris is a cheap and quick way to visit another country. If you like history you will love your walk through the old town. Just remember it is abit pricer to eat in Rhodes.

To come to Marmaris and not go to the rhodes, it would really be a pity. I did not find a lower price for this trip. Not to mention that for every excursion they come for you by van, by bus or whatever, and they come back naturally. The praise for Cem, a representative of the agency, was there for every one of my questions.

Actually we did have a good time on our trip and the sea was flat calm so it was only 50 minutes to go to Rhodes from Marmaris. Never been to Rhodes before it was quite nice, slightly a bit more expensive then Marmaris. Not sure if I would want to holiday there but good for a day trip

I can say that Rhodes is truly a beautiful city, there is something around every corner. A true medieval castle with stunning cafes and restaurants. We will definitely be back.

Booked a trip with catamaran from Marmaris, a pretty quick 50 minute trip. To be honest Rhodes is a fantastic place. The historical castle and the old town are the best places. There are so many different food options on the island, but prices are slightly more expensive.

Totally enjoyed Rhodes day trip from Marmaris! Visited the Old Town, had lovely lunch in a small restaurant by the seafront. Food was very good and not overpriced. There is so much to do and see, lots of small narrow streets to walk. Also relaxed on the beach and splashing our feet for a little while. Great day 🙂

Great trip, well worth the money. We booked with Mares Travel online and paid 35 £ only. If you try to book on the street the price is around 40 £. ıf you try to make a deal with the hotel the price is around £45. The price includes all taxes and hotel transfers,ferry ticket (bothways). You start like 7.30 and be back at 18.00.

With the fast catamaran it takes about an hour to arrive to Rhodes, such a lovely place to spend a day. We spent the day in the old town looking at the sights. Warning – did receive hassle to purchase gifts and restaurants in the old town were good but expensive to eat for a family of 5.

If you have time in Marmaris, you can easily take the boat trip to Rhodes!! It is a great day out and only takes fifty minutes to go there! The island is beautiful and the people are absolutely lush.

Rhodes is definitely worth a visit for the castle walls and other historical sites, but other than that the town centre itself can be covered in the day! The boat trip from Marmaris was quick around 50 minutes.

Rhodes: Visit while in Marmaris, only 1 hour away

If you are looking for your next holiday destination, look no further: Rhodes is the perfect place for you. From long golden beaches and beautiful emerald valleys to fancy bars and restaurants, from archaeological sites to modern infrastructure, from traditional to cosmopolitan: this place has absolutely everything.

Rhodes is the largest of the Dodecanese islands and one of the largest in the Aegean sea. It is situated approximately 17,7 km from the coasts of Turkey. The population is about 130.000 persons, of which approximately 60-70.000 reside in the city of Rhodes. Rhodes called from its local people the Rose of the Aegean and deserves its name because is one of the most beautiful Greek islands.

Many Hollywood films have been filmed here, that helped more the global advertisement of Rhodes and its beauties. The island of Rhodes has an excellent tourist infrastructure with modern Hotels of every category. During the summer hundreds of charter flights landing at Rhodes airport in the Maritsa.

Rhodes town is divided into the new town and the old town from the big medieval wall. The beauty of Rhodes town is the old town with the medieval castles, houses, and streets. At the port, the visitor will find Mandraki with its circular Market and the Cafes at the seafront, further on are the Art Deco buildings of the Metropolis from the times of the Italian occupation. At the entrance of the port are the famous two columns with the two Deers at the place where supposed to be the colossus of Rhodes. The ancient city of Lindos is another of the main Attractions of the island.

Due to its strategic geographical position, this Dodecanese island has been significant since ancient times. Therefore, t is not surprising that Rhodes has endured many invasions and conquests in its long history that began in the 16th century BC. After passing through the hands of the Persians, Alexander the Great, the Byzantines and the Ottomans, Rhodes was united with Greece in 1947. It is amazing how this small island, having suffered so much, managed to stay so beautiful and rich. Probably that is also because every invader, though bringing wars and destruction, also contributed something to the culture of the island, making it wealthier and stronger.

How Do I Get There?

If you are planning a day trip from Marmaris it is very easy and only one hour away by Catamarans. We can help you book here or you can book it when you get to Marmaris. If you want to book online, contact us on chat on this page we will help you.

Getting to the land of one of the Seven Wonders, the Colossus of Rhodes, is pretty easy. The airport, located close to the Rhodes Town, receives daily flights from the Greek cities of Athens and Thessaloniki, as well as from some other Mediterranean countries. If you do not feel like taking a plane, you can take a ferry. Rhodes can be reached from the main port of Athens, from Crete and from the rest of the Dodecanese islands. The ferries are usually run 4-5 times a week.

What Is the Weather Like?

Summers in Rhodes are hot and dry, and there is some rainfall during the winter. August is the hottest month with the temperature rarely falling below 25, while January and February are the coldest, with the average temperature of 13. The island enjoys about 300 days of sunshine a year, and this is only one of the reasons why it attracts so many tourists from all over the world.

Which Beach Should I Go to?

One of the most popular beaches is Lindos Beach, located just a few minutes’ walk away from the village of the same name. This golden sandy beach is fully equipped with sunbeds and umbrellas, and there are numerous fish taverns for those travelers who want to enjoy a meal by the sea. The water is crystal clear and warm, the view around the beach is amazing, the food served in the taverns is delicious; what else do you need for a perfect vacation?

Ladiko Beach gets very crowded during the summer season but if you do not mind having a lot of other people around you, be sure to visit this one. Located 20km south of Rhodes Town, this small beach has everything that is necessary for a day of pure relaxation. It has all the beach facilities, a few traditional taverns, and it offers the tourists an absolutely magnificent scenery of azure sea, green trees around and tiny boats visible on the horizon.

If you want to try yourself in watersports, Faliraki Beach is the place for you. Only open during the summer season, it offers parasailing, bungee jumping and many other activities. It can also get rather crowded at times, yet nevertheless, this beach is worth going to.

Listing all the beautiful beaches with excellent facilities and breathtaking landscapes would mean listing pretty much all the beaches of Rhodes! However, some of the most popular beaches are Prassonissi (40km south-west of Lindos village), Theologos (22km from Rhodes Town), Ialissos (8km from Rhodes Town) and Haraki (36km from Rhodes Town). And if you do not want to be disrupted by other tourists, the perfect beach for you is Fournou, This small beach, located 3km away from Monolithos, does not have sunbeds or umbrellas: it only has trees and the pure, natural beauty.

What Else Can I Do?

There is nothing wrong with wanting to spend your whole vacation lying on a sunbed, swimming in the sea and getting that ideal tan you have been dreaming about since last summer but, in case you want to get the most out of your holiday,

Rhodes has a lot of other things to offer. To start with, there is the Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With 2,400 years of history, the Old Town greets the tourists with ancient statues, churches, hammams, and mosques. Dive into the Middle Ages by taking a walk down the street of the Knights that is perfectly restored just as it was at the time when medieval warriors inhabited it.

Visit the Palace of the Grandmaster: the impressive medieval castle that is now a museum, and sees ancient sculptures and floor mosaics. Climb to the top of the clock tower to get an astounding panoramic view of the whole city. Even if you are not a big admirer of history, the Old Town of Rhodes will not fail to amaze you.

Stepping outside of the Old Town, you will feel as if you traveled back from the past to the present. There you will see all kinds of neoclassic and modern buildings. Certainly visit the Aquarium, one of the most significant marine research centers in Greece. Going to the underground aquarium, you will be able to admire the richness of the Aegean sea in all of its beauty: mollusks, crabs, fish, sea turtles, and many other sea creatures.

Do not miss the opportunity to go to Rodini Park. In ancient times, it was the site of the School of Rhetoric, a place where such famous Greek and Roman historical figures as Julius Caesar and Marc Anthony studied. Today, it is an incredible park with all kinds of peacocks walking among cypress and pine trees.

One of the more modern options is Mandraki, with many restaurants, clubs, and a shopping center, but also with a large number of stunning public buildings built by the Italians during their rule on the island. For example, there is the National Bank of Greece, the National Theater, and City Hall.

Where Should I Go to Eat?

Want to enjoy a delicious meal while looking at the magnificent sunset over the Aegean sea? If so, your first choice just has to be Kyma Beach Restaurant. As the name suggests, it is located on the beach and thus provides its visitors with a beautiful view. The restaurant serves traditional Greek dishes and offers a big variety of drinks to choose from.

One more expensive option, yet totally worth the money spent, is Mavrikos. This is one of the island’s oldest restaurants, still run by the Mavrikos family. Sitting in the cozy courtyard and enjoying the traditional food prepared by Rhodes’s most famous chef is definitely an experience that will stay in your memory long after your vacation is over.

Probably the best place to eat seafood is Hatzikelis. The fact that it has won many international awards and regularly enjoys celebrity clients only proves its dishes’ quality. Classic seafood recipes are made more interesting with typical Greek flavors like feta cheese and ouzo, making sure that the dish served will be unique and unforgettable.

Among other popular restaurants are Kerasma, that opened only in 2010 and has surprised its clients by putting twists on traditional recipes; Mosaic, a dream come true for a sweet-tooth with its freshly baked Greek doughnuts, baklava, and other sweets; Nireas, a quality fish restaurant; Arthoniko, an unusual seafood restaurant set in the house of a ship’s captain; and Akti Ixia, a place that offers dishes from different cuisines of the world, and serves cocktails at a poolside bar.

Where Should I Stay?

Rodos Park Suites & Spa is one of the most popular hotels in Rhodes. It is not surprising due to the variety of facilities it offers to its guests: a spa, a sauna, and a hair salon, an excellent restaurant and a trendy lounge bar. Its location is also perfect since many important landmarks and beautiful beaches can be easily reached from there.

Island Boutique Hotel, located just 1km away from the famous street of the Knights, attracts thousands of tourists each year. With both Mediterranean and international dishes served at the restaurant, refreshing cocktails offered at the bar and stunning Aegean sea views from the balconies, this hotel can make an already perfect vacation even better.

Kokkini Porta Rossa is another amazing hotel that offers everything necessary for a great vacation. Hidden in the Old Town, it is a true masterpiece that combines history and glamour perfectly. Though there is no pool, the beaches are just a few minutes’ walk away. Due to this hotel containing only five spacious suites, every traveler who arrives feels like he is in his own private house.

Some other popular hotels in Rhodes are AquaGrand Exclusive Deluxe Resort, a luxurious hotel right next to the beach for adults only; Spirit of the Knights Boutique Hotel, located in the heart of the Old Town; Marco Polo Mansion, one of the most atmospheric hotels of the island; Bellevue Suits, open all year round and offering incredible sea view; and Lindian Village Hotel, remote from Lindos but nevertheless an ideal destination for a family or a couple.

In the Medieval Town of Rhodes (or Old Town) you may for sure enjoy one of the most interesting waks on the island. Do not be misled by the term “medieval” into thinking that what you will see is a ruined and deserted city.

Tour Reviews

Well worth a visit We took the hovercraft from Marmaris harbour to Rhodes, only took 1 hour. he catamaran left Marmaris at 9am and left Rhodes at 5pm – sufficent time in Rhodes to visit the Old Town. Rhodes was very beautiful, lots to see in the old town. We wandered around the old walled town with its stone walls and cobbled streets – a photographers paradise. But be aware Rhodes is very expensive, still the duty free is amazingly cheap .

Summer of Dupes: Alternatives in the Aegean

Between Turkey and Greece, there are plenty of spectacular spots for a seaside vacation. So why not go beyond the usual suspects? Here are five lesser-known choices.

• June 7, 2024

In April, Princess Cruises told passengers that it was canceling a scheduled stop in Santorini, Greece, citing congestion. Four cruise ships were already anticipated to arrive on the same day in June, and were it to join, the ships would have brought some 17,000 visitors to an island of 15,500 residents.

In the Aegean Sea, more than 1,000 islands fill the waters between Greece and Turkey, and the coastlines are lined with spectacular bays. Both countries set tourism records last year, a boon for two fragile economies, but one that follows and in turn fuels frenzied development that threatens local livelihoods, cultural heritage and ecological balance, particularly on the Greek islands.

With plenty of whitewashed islands and historic coastal towns offering the same charms as their neighbors, it’s time to look beyond Mykonos and Marmaris to lesser-known spots that might benefit from more visitors. Whether you’re in search of a hiking adventure, a cultural excursion or seclusion in rugged beauty, here are five destinations that offer distinctly Aegean experiences, without the crowds.

When Michelin expanded its Turkey guidebook last year, the quiet district of Urla, near the port city of Izmir, stole the spotlight. On a windy peninsula with clay-heavy soil, the hilly region has a rich winemaking tradition that dates back 6,000 years. A near-total government monopoly on winemaking stymied production for decades, but recently boutique makers and chef-driven restaurants have carved a path for themselves and put Urla on the gastronomic map.

Newer wine producers like Hus focus almost exclusively on indigenous grapes, joining longtime innovators along the Urla Vineyard Route , which winds through rolling fields, olive groves and nine wineries, two of which have beautiful guest rooms, including 2 Rooms hotel at Şarapçilik (from $230). Each producer is no more than a 20-minute drive from the next.

“It’s as if everything here is passed down from word of mouth, from generation to generation, from season to season,” said Seray Kumbasar, the sommelier and co-owner of Vino Locale , a fine-casual restaurant among vineyards.

The local grape Bornova Misketi, a semisweet ancestor of muscat, features in many of Vino Locale’s Italian-leaning dishes. Ms. Kumbasar and her husband, Ozan, who is the chef, take a hyperlocal approach, harvesting the restaurant’s produce alongside the farmers who supply it. Most menu items are bright takes on simple ingredients: The heart of a local artichoke is boiled in a fragrant broth of herbs and citrus, then doused with olive oil and paired with fava bean purée and kumquat.

On the way to the coast from wine country, the restaurant OD Urla has a similarly light-handed style. Wood-fired dishes, like a gently cooked octopus or squid drizzled with fermented pomegranate syrup, combine seafood from the peninsula’s waters with produce from an on-site farm.

In the charming town of Urla itself, stone alleyways connect multi-hyphenate spaces like İstifçi , where a combined design and wine store leads to a restaurant and hotel; laid-back hangouts like Filos Coffee and Wine , which serves a selection of the area’s wines by the glass; and mom-and-pop shops that do one thing very well, such as Girit Pastanesi with its bademli kazandibi, an almond-studded caramelized milk pudding.

The seaside town of Ayvalik, 250 miles southwest of Istanbul, was once a hub of Ottoman-era olive oil production. Many of the industry’s stone factories are now populated with workshops focused on traditional Turkish crafts. Despite growing tourism, Ayvalik retains “a raw texture,” said Özlem Erol, the founder of the design store Moyy Atölye , as well as “a permanent community that lives and produces here.”

At her boutique, Ms. Erol works with women artisans to design clothing made from feretiko, an airy, handwoven fabric of hemp and cotton, as well as other crafts, like baskets made from the bark of hazelnut trees and braided wooden stools. At Bovindo , one of many shops selling porcelain works created on site, a ceramist creates elaborately etched plates based on her mother’s old dishware. At Tia Vine Cafe & Bar , the husband-and-wife co-owners, Hasan and Neşe Erdem, serve local wines alongside Circassian family recipes, such as haluj dumplings, pockets filled with puréed potato and covered in garlic yogurt.

Most of the action is centered in the neighborhood of Macaron, where every other corner seems to have either a small-batch olive oil store, antiques market or boutique hotel. The most contemporary, Ivy Ayvalik, opened last year in a traditional stone home (from $70). Four compact but comfy rooms sit above a neon-lit cafe and wine bar that stays lively late into the evenings.

From town, it’s a three-mile drive to the island of Cunda and its Ayvalik Islands Nature Park , where you can explore the rocky coves and a hiking path through the hills that opens onto sweeping views, before heading into Cunda’s main town for plates of sardine tartines at Ayna and herbal drinks at Cactus , one of many cocktail bars that circle the area’s central square.

With resort-filled Bodrum to its north, the nightlife capital of Marmaris to its east, and the ever-popular Greek island of Rhodes to its south, it’s a surprise that Datça has stayed relatively unknown. That is, until you look at a map: the long, narrow peninsula is connected to the mainland by a thin isthmus (plus a ferry from Bodrum) that’s somehow been enough to deter most visitors.

Güven Çetinkaya is the chef and co-owner of the Ultava Houses hotel, which consists of four traditional village homes that have been updated with amenities like private rooftop pool terraces (from $170). He said that unlike in more touristed areas, most of Datça’s residents have lived there for a long time. The region’s strict building codes have kept large developments away.

Along with a waterfront of fish restaurants, there’s Eski Datça, or the old town, where bougainvillea spills over stone buildings. There are just enough small restaurants and cafes to start and end your days here, but most visitors spend the hours in between exploring the pebbled beaches tucked into büks, or “bends,” that dot the peninsula’s 200 miles of coastline (Aquarium Cove is a standout).

The drive along the peninsula’s interior — marked by Valonia oaks, deep river gorges and stonewalled almond orchards — is just as spectacular. Along the way are detours to fishing villages turned into modest beach towns, home-style restaurants set in lush gardens, and at the peninsula’s western tip, the ancient site of Knidos and its Hellenic amphitheater.

Almost a third of this island in the western Cyclades can only be reached by footpaths, which act as small windows into its storied history. Some routes date back to the Neolithic period; others were forged by the miners of gold and silver who made Sifnos one of the richest stops in ancient Greece. “Today, they are still used by the locals to reach their terraced fields and small chapels, as well as by hikers,” said Fivos Tsaravopoulos, co-founder of Paths of Greece , a national hiking cooperative.

For close to a decade, the group has carefully restored some 60 miles of the island’s network and organized several self-guided themed hikes . One is a remote nine-mile path that circles Sifnos’s highest point, Mount Profitis Ilias, and passes chapels, terraces and a nature preserve known for bird-watching. “It’s the only way to experience what it’s like to live on this island, one of the most pristine in the Cyclades,” said Mr. Tsaravopoulos, who hopes the paths encourage more travelers to come during the shoulder seasons, when there’s good hiking weather.

In between hikes you can enjoy long meals of Sifnian delicacies, many slow-cooked in olive-wood-fired ovens. Since Nicholas Tselementes, considered the most important chef in Greece’s history, established himself here in the early 1900s, the island has kept up its culinary reputation.

Sifnos staples like revithada, a baked chickpea stew, and mastelo, roasted lamb, can be found at every taverna, while newcomer eateries like Cantina lean more creative — smoked-ox-cheek-croquettes topped with eggplant béchamel, for example. For a stay that rivals those in Mykonos, the 18-room Nos Hotel & Villas (from $825), the island’s latest addition, is all stone and marble surfaces, cinematic lighting and pools perched on the hillside.

Folegandros

About an hour west of Santorini by ferry, Folegandros is a quieter option for a classic Greek-island getaway. The sparsely developed island has no airport, less-accessible beaches and few visitor attractions — and that’s the draw. Its latest hotel, billed as its first luxury property, capitalizes on this feeling of seclusion: Gundari is in an 80-acre nature reserve known for its population of Eleanora’s falcons (from $640).

Unlike other luxury developments in the Cyclades, which often stoked ire among locals, Gundari hopes to set a different tone through its small-footprint commitments. The hotel has its own wastewater treatment system, and all of its stonework was made with rocks excavated on-site. An on-site farm, which employs traditional agricultural practitioners, will soon launch after-school programs.

Each of the 27 rooms comes with a private infinity pool, and its restaurant, run by Lefteris Lazarou — the chef behind Athens’s Michelin-starred Varoulko — will serve a rotating menu of unfussy seafood dishes, such as octopus carpaccio with fava bean cream and black garlic. From its cliffside setting, you can head down to white sand or pebbled beaches via e-bike.

The main port town of Karavostasis is little more than a fishing village. The second largest village, Ano Meria, has ancient hilltop ruins, traditional farmhouses and the Ecomuseum , which captures what homestead life was like. Chora, the island’s de facto capital, with its quintessential whitewashed squares on a cliff’s edge, has all the charm of busy towns on nearby islands but maintains an intact local community.
