Fethiye to Rhodes Ferry: A Day Trip to Greece
A day trip from Fethiye to Rhodes is one of the easiest ways to fold a Greek island into your holiday. The catamaran crosses from the Turkish coast in around 90 minutes, and the rest of the day is yours to spend on one of the great islands of the Dodecanese. You get roughly 6 to 7 hours of free time on the island. The ferry docks right by the city walls, so you step off and walk straight into the medieval Old Town — no buses to work out, no time lost. Wander the Street of the Knights, look round the Palace of the Grand Master, or just settle in for lunch and a coffee near Mandraki Harbour.
Where Does the Tour Depart From?
Arrive at Fethiye International Terminal roughly 60 minutes before departure for passport control. Fast catamaran crossing takes approximately 90 minutes across the Aegean Sea to Rhodes. Hotel pick-up and drop-off transfer included (pick-up times vary by hotel area; return catamaran arrives late afternoon in Fethiye).

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I visit Rhodes for just one day?
Yes — the trip is built specifically for a full-day experience. You receive 6 to 7 hours on the island before the afternoon catamaran departs back to Fethiye.
Is the ferry port close to the Old Town?
The ferry docks right beside the historic fortress walls, meaning both the medieval Old Town and Mandraki Harbour are just a short, easy walk from the terminal.
Do I need a passport or visa for Rhodes?
It depends on your nationality and passport. Please check the Schengen visa and entry requirements that apply to your citizenship prior to booking, and ensure you travel with the physical original document on the day.
How do I confirm my booking?
Because ferry manifests are issued in your name, we require your passport details in advance. Once availability is confirmed, you can confirm your booking either by paying our representative when they deliver your tickets to your hotel, or by bank transfer.
