How much does the ferry from Rhodes to Halki cost?

The cost of the ferry from Rhodes to Halki 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 look up the live fares for your exact date and send the real cost by WhatsApp, with the options side by side.

What we include in the price we send: the ticket for each passenger, the vehicle if you bring one, any reserved seat or cabin you asked for, port taxes, and our service - checking the timetable, booking, sending the electronic ticket and answering questions before and during the crossing.
