Mavi Transfer

Mavi Transfer is a ferry operator providing direct maritime transport between the Datca peninsula in Mugla, Turkey, and Symi Island in Greece's Dodecanese group. The company commenced new services on June 1, 2026, addressing a key transportation need in the region. Mavi Transfer operates a modern catamaran fleet, offering a safe and fast travel experience. The direct crossings from Datca to Symi are particularly convenient for both domestic and international tourists, especially during the summer months.

Mavi Transfer offers more than just point-to-point transportation, providing structured travel programs. The comfortable journey takes approximately 45 minutes and is organized into day trips and overnight packages. Day trips to Symi are available on Mondays and Thursdays, departing Datca Pier at 09:30 and returning from Symi Port at 17:30, allowing approximately 7 hours of free time on the island. For those wishing to experience Symi's evening atmosphere, overnight options include a 1-night stay (departing Datca Tuesday 10:00, returning Symi Wednesday 15:30) and a 2-night premium weekend escape (departing Datca Friday 10:00, returning Symi Sunday 15:30).

Mavi Transfer's modern catamaran ferries feature enclosed, air-conditioned passenger lounges, ensuring a comfortable journey even on hot summer days. These vessels are equipped with wave-dampening technology to minimize motion during the 45-minute crossing. Passengers are required to be at Datca Pier at least one hour before departure for international travel regulations. Valid Schengen visas or Green Passports are mandatory for non-EU citizens traveling to Symi. Passport and visa controls are conducted at Datca port before departure and at Symi port upon arrival. Passengers are responsible for obtaining their Turkish exit stamp.
