Marmaris Rhodes Tour

You will not be accompanied by a guide on the ferry and Rhodes island. The ferry staff speaks English and can help you if necessary. Since Rhodes is a popular holiday destination for EU tourists, the local population also speaks a little English.

Marmaris to Rhodes Tour Price for adults 52 Euro, 32 Euro for children (3-6 years old) and children under 3 years old are 5 Euro.

The ferry from Marmaris to Rhodes takes about 50 minutes. Depending on weather conditions, the time can be increased to 1 hour and 10 minutes.

LINDOS. Beautiful Lindos is surely one of the most beautiful villages in Greece and definitely the most romantic destination in Rhodes. You couldn’t put together a nicer little town if you tried. It has it all – hilltop Acropolis with ruined temples and a castle, pretty whitewashed streets and fine sandy beaches.

You should definitely make the trip to Rhodes. In fact, you might consider staying there for another day or two. The old town and the Castle of the Knights will be fascinating for the whole family. Also take a day trip to Symi Island – unforgettable.

If you are a history buff this is definitely for you.  With an abundance of 15th century cobbled streets in the walled old town and ancient temples sitting silently in the half excavated streets.  The warm welcome awaiting in the cheerful tavernas and restaurants is second to none.  Walking is very much the order of the day.  If you have mobility problems the cobbled streets could be difficult to negotiate.  If shopping and history is your thing, as a day tripper this is the one for you.

Rhodes Old Town is right outside the entrance to the port!  You will see the entrance through a majestic mediaeval gate and once through into the town you will have lots to explore.  If you do get confused once inside it is good to note that as long as you head downhill you will end up at the entrance near the sea and the ferry port.

You will need good walking shoes and of course your camera is a must.  The official currency of Greece is the Euro so don’t forget to take the correct money.  Of course there are exchange offices on the island too so you will be able to change money there if necessary.  Most importantly YOU NEED YOUR PASSPORT.  As you are crossing the border from Turkey into Greece this is absolutely essential and you will be refused travel if you do not have it with you.  As you may well find the shade limited in the old town it is also advisable to have sun cream, a hat and sunglasses with you.

There is a small beach by the port in Rhodes with soft sand and clear water.  Even though there is a sign that says no swimming it is an ideal place to cool  your heels before your return to the port.  There are also beaches further along adjacent to the new town.

Eating out on Rhodes is a little more expensive than eating out in Marmaris.  Do bear this in mind when sitting down to eat.  Hint:  Eating and drinking away from the main squares in the town is a cheaper option.

Be aware that beers come in three sizes, large, medium and small.  A large beer is around 2.5 pints and is served in an extremely large boot shaped glass.  If you order a large beer you could be sitting there awhile!

A Pitta Gyros is the Greek version of Doner Kebab, possibly even more delicious than its Turkish counterpart and a cheaper option for lunch on the go!
