Things to do in Marmaris after the ferry

Marmaris is a harbour resort at the head of a fjord-like bay where the Aegean meets the Mediterranean, about 95 km from Dalaman Airport (DLM), with İçmeler around the bay, Turunç over the headland and the Datça peninsula stretching west. Arriving by sea puts you in the middle of it: İçmeler beach, the Turunç road viewpoints, Datça and ancient Knidos, the Marmaris National Park pine trails and Marmaris Castle and the old bazaar are all reachable from Marmaris cruise port. For the first meal, try gözleme at the weekly market, ice cream on the seafront walk and fish restaurants on the marina.

Best time to take the ferry from Rhodes to Marmaris

The ferry from Rhodes to Marmaris runs all year on most operators, but not equally: summer brings the most sailings and the highest fares, shoulder months the best balance, winter a reduced service. May to October is the season, with hot dry summers and a busy harbour; the Dalaman road is slowest on summer Saturday changeovers. Whatever the month, booking early is the single biggest saving, especially with a car or a cabin.

Ferry or flight from Rhodes to Marmaris?

Ferry versus plane between Rhodes and Marmaris 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 Marmaris to Rhodes

The Marmaris to Rhodes ferry is the same crossing in reverse, about 1 hour. Haqqi Tours can provide the return ticket in the same conversation; if the return date is not fixed, an open return on the same operator keeps it flexible.

How much does the ferry from Rhodes to Marmaris cost?

Ferry prices from Rhodes to Marmaris move with the season and the vessel: the same crossing can cost a fraction on the conventional ferry in April of what the high-speed boat costs on an August weekend. Rather than quote a figure that will be wrong next week, we check the fare for the day you want to sail and send it through WhatsApp before you decide.

The figure we send is the total: passengers, seats or cabin and port fees. If a slower sailing an hour later is cheaper, we say so; on this route the conventional ferry is often the best value for a family.

Cheapest ferry ticket from Rhodes to Marmaris: how to pay less

The cheapest ferry ticket from Rhodes to Marmaris is normally on the conventional ferry, booked early, on a weekday outside the peak weeks. These are the rules our booking desk applies:

• Book early for July, August, Easter and holiday weekends, when sailings sell out and fares rise
• Travel on a weekday - Friday and Sunday sailings carry the highest fares
• Tell us if your dates are flexible; moving by a day often changes the fare
• Compare operators - on this route the cheapest company changes with the date
• Travel light - some fast boats limit luggage per passenger
• Book the return with the outbound - open returns and round-trip fares are cheaper on many operators

Send us the form with your dates and we tell you which sailing is the cheapest ferry from Rhodes to Marmaris that day and how much a different day would save.

Timetable and season of the Rhodes to Marmaris ferry

Sailing times on the Rhodes to Marmaris route depend on the operator and the month - as a rule daily in summer, several a week in winter. Morning departures are generally the calmest and the most reliable; the last sailing of the day is the one to avoid if you have an onward connection.

If a sailing is cancelled by the operator for weather, you are rebooked on the next available or refunded; our WhatsApp desk handles that for you on the day.

Departure: Rhodes commercial port (Kolona)

The ferry from Rhodes to Marmaris leaves from Rhodes commercial port (Kolona), in Rhodes - Rhodes has the largest inhabited medieval town in Europe, the Lindos acropolis and beaches on both coasts. Foot passengers should be at the port 45 to 60 minutes before departure, earlier on international crossings where passports are checked. Getting there: Public buses run from the airport to Rhodes Town, and from there along both coasts, which suits a hotel in the capital; for Lindos, the south-east resorts, families with luggage or late arrivals a private car from the terminal is simpler and far quicker.

• Haqqi Tours provides a private transfer from your hotel in Rhodes to the port on request
• Ask us 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

Arrival: Marmaris cruise port

Marmaris is a harbour resort at the head of a fjord-like bay where the Aegean meets the Mediterranean, about 95 km from Dalaman Airport (DLM), with İçmeler around the bay, Turunç over the headland and the Datça peninsula stretching west. We can have a Haqqi Tours driver at the pier with your name, or tell you the best way to your accommodation by bus or taxi. If you brought the car, the road out of the port is signposted for the main routes.

Arriving late? We note your arrival and, if you have booked a transfer, the driver tracks the ferry, so a delay costs you nothing.
