Færge til græske ø Kastellorizo ​​fra Kas

This trip gave us a lot of vivid experiences, a sea of photos and a nice feeling of freedom. I highly recommend anyone who wants to combine an easy adventure with comfort and a spirited atmosphere!

Pretty, fast trip to Kastellorizo Beautiful town. Lots of stunning views. Nice restaurants. Lovely harbor Grotto swimming. Bring a suit Good restaurants. Lovely day 💕. 🇬🇷

Ferry over was quick but then we waited almost an hour to get off due to another large ferry at the dock. Boarding for the ride back was 14:30-15:30 but we had to wait for late passengers so we didn’t leave until almost 16:30.

A really good day out. We pre-booked a taxi from Kalkan to take us from our accommodation to the ferry at Kas - taxi journey is 30 minutes, we booked it for 08.15 thinking that would be fine for 9.30 sailing but got a text in the morning saying last check in was 08.45. Taxi was a little late so I used the WhatsApp help on the Meis Ferries website and they said 09.00 was fine, which was great. You need passports, checking was quick in Kas but really slow on Kastellorizo - seemingly a case of the local police just not being bothered to do it any quicker, though they did prioritise people with babies (it was hot). Ferry journey is short and fine - there is an air conditioned section and an on-deck shaded section. The harbour village is beautiful and we saw a turtle right at the shore. Plenty of boats to take you to the Blue Cave, which is well worth it. Also great swimming at St. George. The ferry company tells you to be in line at 15.00 for the journey back, but if you do that you'll spend ages in the direct sun as the local police slowly do their job. 15.30 should be fine.

If you are in Kas you must take a day trip to the island of Kastellorizo. It was so tricky to find a way over there but Captain Ergun it was a breeze. No hold ups with passports and everything communicated clearly through whatsapp. Highly recommend.

Thank you for bringing us this beautiful excursion. We were delighted by the natural and historic sites we visited. The cleanliness and service on board were good. The food was amazing.

Firstly, have to say that this is a truly dreamy little place, and so picturesque - would be rude not to if staying in Kas as only 3 mile ferry crossing and so glad we did this. The village is built around the harbour with pretty colourful houses more reminiscent of Tobermory in Mull, than any other Greek Island we have visited. For wildlife lovers the Loggerhead turtles can be seen close up and personal swimming round the fishing boats almost biting your toes as the cafes, bars and restaurants all border the water, so easy to see as you sip your morning coffee. The choice of places to eat is excellent and although in our short stay we only managed three meals do not know if it would have made too much difference where we ate as they all appeared to be of a high standard, and lots of fresh locally caught fish. A beach there is not, but a 5 euro (return) water taxi, was all it cost for 3 of us, to the tiny island of Ro just outside the harbour which is home to a whitewashed chapel, a café/bar and large patio areas decked with sunbeds with access to the water and swimming/snorkelling in a small sheltered bay. This was quite a busy spot, but pleasant none the less - sunbeds were chargable at 4euros the day - certainly worth a visit, but would not need to go back again unless you are just a sun worshiper. While here you will be offered excursions to the Blue Caves (tides and weather permitting). The whole trip only lasts 30-40 minutes and is at 10 euros. We deliberated on this one, but were so glad we went, as it really is a showstopper. Stay in the boat or dive in and swim in the amazing water - even my teenage son was impressed! Wont say too much more on this as just needs to be seen. Just a little but about the practicalities and possible downside. We booked well in advance on TripAdvisor, although you can only book a day return, the description said if you want to came back the following day just ask the skipper on the morning. You will however, need to visit the travel Agent a day or two in advance with your passports, request the different day return and they will issue a ticket. On the day of travel you then need to join one of two queues at passport control to board one of two rival boats, carrying out the same trips at the same times, the crossing is then straight forward but there is then a race to see which boat can get docked first as the second one has to wait till the former has emptied and all gone through passport control on the Greek side. furthermore, we went on a Monday when both boats arrive just as a Large Ferry from Athens arrives, so having waited for that to turn around and then being the second boat of the two Turkish vessels to unload, it was then 12.30 by the time we had cleared customs. For this reason I recommend staying overnight as we did, as the return ferry queue starts at 3.30 which would only have left us 3 hours to explore, and think that many daytrippers would have thought it more hassle than it was worth. There is more than enough to do here for the day and a half we had and was entirely relaxing. We booked a pension through Air BnB very clean, air conditioned and slept 4 for just £73. Would recommend this to anyone.

The online booking form has a couple of quirks - but an email to Hakan sorted that out. Thanks Hakan. As you are leaving Turkey for Greece, there is passport control, but the whole process is simple and easy and the ferries leave on time. This trip ia lovely addition to your Turkish holiday.
