This “day trip” was actually just an overpriced ferry ticket. I paid $68 through trip advisor while my friend paid under $35 for the same ferry. The island quaint and was worth a visit, but buy your ticket directly from the ferry company! Also, make sure you are off the ferry first when you arrive to avoid an hour+ line at immigration.
A gorgeous island but…… be prepared to spend at least 2 hours queuing at passport control on the island… it seemed organised chaos and spoilt the day. Plus lots of hidden taxes to pay on top of the price of the ferry ticket…. However, that aside it is beautiful.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re very sorry that the long wait at passport control affected your day. Unfortunately, the passport control process is managed by the government border authorities, not by our company, and all travellers on the island were experiencing the same delays — not only our group. We completely understand how frustrating this can be, especially when it reduces the time available to enjoy such a beautiful destination. Regarding the additional fees, these are local government/port taxes and border-related charges, which are separate from the ferry ticket price. We always aim to make these details as clear as possible, and we’ll review how we communicate this information to avoid any confusion in the future. We’re glad to hear that you still found the island beautiful, and we hope the overall experience left you with some lovely memories.
While this was a great trip for my friends and I, we were a bit shocked at all the hidden taxes we were charged at the dock in addition to our ticket. So if you intend to go, be aware that there's the ticket price and then two additional taxes - tough on Aussies because they're in euro. However, the island offered plenty to see and do in your day stop over. There's the blue cave (additional cost), the museum (additional cost) or lots of hiking and walking. The St Georgios Monastery is worth the hike and offers breathtaking views of the pristine blue water and island. The houses offer a colourful backdrop too.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re very happy to hear that you and your friends enjoyed the trip and found the island beautiful, with plenty to see and do during your visit. We completely understand your concern regarding the additional charges at the dock. These fees are local port/government taxes and border-related charges, which are separate from the ferry ticket price and are not controlled by our company. We understand this can be frustrating, especially for Australian travellers paying in euros. We’ll review how we explain these extra costs in advance so future travellers are better prepared before arriving at the dock. Thank you again for your comments, and we’re glad you were able to enjoy the island, the views from St Georgios Monastery, the colourful houses, and the beautiful blue waters.
We had a very enjoyable day. At 9:30 a.m., the ferry departing from Kash arrived on the island of Meis with the name of Bizdin. We had a meal and a drink and we walked around and returned to Kash at 4 p.m. We saw a caretta turtle, ate ☺️ in the bowl, got magnets. We saw the ethnographic mosque, the former Ottoman mosque, its church, and the blue yellow hotel, said to have filmed Mediterraneo. Located in memories.
We did a day trip to this island. It’s wonderful, so pretty and the nicest of people. I wish I could have stayed the night. Great restaurants and coffee shops. Everyone was super friendly and hospitable. The only downside was the queue both ways from the ferry through Turkish and Greek passport control. It can take an hour. My tip - stand at the back of the ferry early to get off fast.
I had an amazing 3-night, 4-day Blue Cruise from Olympos to Fethiye with SAILNSTAY. The crew was professional and knowledgeable, and the boat was comfortable with stunning views of the Turkish coastline. The chef prepared delicious meals, and the team went above and beyond to accommodate special requests. I highly recommend SAILNSTAY for an unforgettable Sail Turkey adventure.
