Ferry from Rhodes (Rodos) to Marmaris (Turkey)

Rhodes to Marmaris is the busiest international crossing from Rhodes, a straightforward one-hour run on the King of Rhodes, operated by Sea Dreams. It is a passenger service, so this is a walk-on crossing rather than one for vehicles, and passports are needed at both ends.

Marmaris is a large resort town on Turkey's southwest coast, with extensive hotels, beaches and nightlife, plus one of the biggest marinas on this stretch of coast. Marmaris Castle overlooks the harbour and the old bazaar quarter sits behind it, all within easy walking distance of where the boat berths. The port handles both the Rhodes link and a good deal of yacht traffic.

With around fifty six sailings a fortnight this runs multiple times most days in season, which makes a day trip in either direction perfectly practical. Current departures and fares are listed in the table below. Dalaman airport is roughly an hour and a half away by road, which makes Marmaris a useful open-jaw option for a Greece and Turkey trip.

Hiring a car

Is it worth hiring a car in Rhodes?

Worth it if you're staying more than a couple of days, since the island is large and its two bus companies (Roda in the west, KTEL in the east) don't make it easy to combine both coasts in a day. The port is a 10-minute walk from Rhodes Old Town, with paid parking nearby. Compare local suppliers at Discover Cars.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tips for the Rhodes to Marmaris ferry

• Rhodes has two separate ferry ports: large car ferries such as Blue Star Ferries use Akandia, while Dodekanisos Seaways catamarans and small boats to Symi depart from Kolona, just outside the Old Town walls – check your ticket for the correct one.
• Akandia port is roughly a 20-minute walk from the Old Town and has no shelter, seating or toilets while you wait, so it is more comfortable to wait in town and take a taxi straight to your ferry.
• Arrive at least one hour before departure to allow time to check in, since boarding for ferries from Rhodes typically closes around 20 minutes before the scheduled sailing time.
• The sirocco (southerly warm wind from North Africa) brings haze and uncomfortable heat to Greek ports in late spring and early summer; it rarely lasts more than a day or two.
• Onboard food prices are higher than onshore – if you are on a budget, bring sandwiches, fruit, and water from a supermarket before you board.
