Timetable and season of the Rhodes to Fethiye ferry

Daily in summer (May-October) - that is how often the ferry from Rhodes to Fethiye runs, with more departures in summer and fewer, sometimes weather-dependent, in winter. Allow about 1 hour 30 minutes at sea plus check-in at the port. Timetables change between seasons, so we send the exact departures for your dates rather than a list that may be out of date.

For a connection at Fethiye - a flight, a train or another ferry - let us know and we choose a sailing with a comfortable margin.

Departure: Rhodes commercial port (Kolona)

Rhodes commercial port (Kolona) is where the Rhodes to Fethiye ferry begins. We tell you whether tickets are scanned at a gate or on board, whether an ID or passport is required, and how early to arrive for your sailing and vessel. On busy summer days the port is crowded, so the margin matters.

• Let us know which gate or terminal your sailing uses - big ports have several
• Foot passengers: at the port 45-60 minutes before departure
• Keep the electronic ticket and the ID or passport used for booking together
• Luggage is carried free within the ferry company's limits; large bags go on the racks or the car deck

Arrival: Fethiye harbour

The ferry docks at Fethiye harbour - Fethiye sits on a wide bay of the Turquoise Coast about 50 km from Dalaman Airport (DLM), with the Blue Lagoon of Ölüdeniz over the hill, the resort strips of Çalış and Hisarönü, and the Lycian ruins and gorges of the Kayaköy and Saklıkent countryside. From the pier you are minutes from taxis, buses and the town itself. Haqqi Tours can provide a private transfer from the port to your accommodation in Fethiye with a driver waiting at the exit, which for a family with bags is the easiest way to finish the Rhodes to Fethiye crossing.

Many passengers continue from Fethiye to another island or city. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.

On board the Rhodes to Fethiye ferry: seats, cabins and luggage

The ship makes the difference on this route: the conventional ferry has more space, open decks and a steadier ride; the high-speed boat has airline seating and gets you there faster. Children have their own fares, luggage travels free within limits, and pets are accepted on many ships in carriers or kennels.

• Pets accepted on many ships in carriers or kennels - tell us if one is travelling
• Seats: economy, airline-style, lounge and business on the fast boats; deck seats on the slow ferries
• Cabins with beds and showers on overnight sailings - two to four berths

Best time to take the ferry from Rhodes to Fethiye

April to November, with hot summers softened by the sea breeze; Dalaman Airport is busiest at weekends in July and August, when the D400 through Göcek fills. For the ferry itself, late spring and early autumn bring calm seas, full timetables and reasonable fares; July and August are the busiest and the most expensive, and the windiest weeks can cancel the fast boats. Winter schedules are thinner on many crossings, so we check before you plan.

Ferry or flight from Rhodes to Fethiye?

Ferry versus plane between Rhodes and Fethiye comes down to time, luggage and the view: the ferry has the deck, the luggage and the town-centre arrival; the plane has speed. On this route the ferry is the option Haqqi Tours recommends first for families and anyone with a car.

Return ferry from Fethiye to Rhodes

We book the return crossing from Fethiye to Rhodes just as easily, normally on the same confirmation. Round-trip fares and open returns are cheaper on many operators, so booking both directions together saves money. Let us know the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.

How much does the ferry from Rhodes to Fethiye cost?

The cost of the ferry from Rhodes to Fethiye depends on the shipping line, the type of vessel, the date, whether you travel as a foot passenger or with a car, and the seat or cabin you choose. A conventional ferry is cheaper than a high-speed one; a summer Saturday costs more than a weekday in May; a car adds a vehicle fare; a cabin on an overnight sailing adds more. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price: we check the live fares for your exact date and send the real cost in the WhatsApp chat, with the options side by side.

Ask us for two or three sailings and we send the cost of each - fast boat and slow boat, morning and afternoon - so you can see the difference before you book the Rhodes to Fethiye ferry.
