About the Marmaris – Rhodes crossing
Yesil Marmaris currently schedules four daily sailings on its international route from Marmaris, Turkey, to the Greek island of Rhodes. Service is available every day of the week, with the first departure from the Marmaris cruise port at 09:00 and the final crossing at 17:30. The distance between the Turkish mainland and the port of Rhodes is approximately 13 nautical miles. Yesil Marmaris lists several vessels for this route, including the Sea Star Rhodes and the Yeşilmar II.
Timetable and Booking
The daily timetable offers departures at 09:00, 10:30, 12:00, and 17:30. As this is an international crossing between Turkey and the Schengen Area of Greece, passengers will need to complete passport control and customs procedures at both ports. Factoring in these formalities is necessary when planning connecting travel from Rhodes Town.
From Marmaris, the only other ferry destination is Symi. Rhodes, however, is a significant hub for Dodecanese island travel, with ferry connections to other Greek islands including Chalki, Kalymnos, and Kastelorizo. A service also runs from Rhodes back to the Turkish mainland at Fethiye, as well as long-distance sailings to the port of Piraeus, for Athens.
Your destination
About Rhodes
Rhodes Town has three working ferry harbours within about a kilometre of each other, and which one your boat uses is decided by the boat, not by where you are going. Get that wrong and you are dragging a suitcase between two of them in August heat. The rest is straightforward: the big ships to Athens sail overnight, the small ones fan out across the Dodecanese, and — rarely for a Greek island — two of them cross to Turkey.
