Marmaris Ferries

Marmaris offers a fast catamaran crossing to Rhodes — roughly 50 minutes to 1.5 hours — making it one of the quickest Turkey-to-Greek-island connections on the Aegean coast.

The port: Marmaris

Marmaris is a large resort town on the Turkish Aegean coast, set on a sweeping bay backed by forested hills. The ferry terminal is near the town's main marina, within easy reach of the seafront and bazaar district. The town is well connected by road to Fethiye, Bodrum and Dalaman airport, making it a convenient starting point for travellers arriving from inland Turkey or via domestic flights.

International crossing to Rhodes — passport required

The Marmaris–Rhodes ferry is an international border crossing between Turkey and Greece. Both countries are separate sovereign states, and Greek islands are part of the EU's Schengen Area. Every passenger must carry a valid passport. Depending on your nationality you may also need a Schengen visa to enter Greece, or a Turkish e-visa to enter Turkey. Check your specific requirements well in advance.

Turyol operates the crossing using fast passenger catamarans. The journey takes roughly 50 minutes to 1.5 hours depending on vessel and sea conditions. No vehicles are carried — this is a foot-passenger-only service.

Seasonal timetables

Like all Turkey–Greek island crossings, the Marmaris–Rhodes service is heavily seasonal. Most sailings run from approximately April through October, with the greatest frequency in the summer peak. Winter services are reduced or suspended. Verify the current timetable with Turyol before making any travel plans, especially outside the main summer season.

Marmaris as a base

Beyond the ferry, Marmaris is a popular sailing centre and gateway to the Turkish Bays (Hisarönü Körfezi) — a network of anchorages along the Bozburun Peninsula. Day trips by gulet are common, and the town connects easily to the Dalyan delta, Pamukkale and Ephesus for longer excursions. For travellers doing a Greece–Turkey loop, Marmaris offers a convenient entry or exit point on the Turkish coast.
