Lovely Day Trip to Kos

Lovely day trip to Kos, the boat trip was straight forward and nice. Passport queue was long. However, we jumped the queue because we had a baby. 7 hours was enough time to see all the sights of Kos Town & grab a nice Greek Lunch

I would not do it again with the problems at the ports.

Arrival and departure at the ports in Kos and Bodrum is too time-consuming - about 90 minutes each. Waiting time - without enough seating! The old town area by the harbor in Bodrum is very touristy, yet quite nice.

Horrible Trip

Horrible Trip, from pick up , journey was supposed to be 40 minutes 4 hours later still on boat. When contacted my agent he was zero help, told me if I put a review I wouldn’t be refunded and no sign of refund whatsoever. Would not recommend.

Cancelled trip

The trip was cancelled the day before, which they said was due to 'travel conditions' unsuitable for ferry crossing. We were able to book with a different provider and the sea couldn't have been calmer. Still waiting for my refund!!!!

Operator response

Unfortunately, we have no control over weather conditions, which can change rapidly—especially at this time of year. For this reason, we inform our guests in advance about the cancellations. The safety of our guests is always our top priority, and if there is any real risk, the captain may decide to cancel the tour at any time.

Overall it was a great experience and recommended.

Easy to book through trip advisor, response from the tour company was immediate and we were kept informed of all the requirements ahead of the trip they were great to arrange pick up and drop off from our hotel even if it was not listed. Pick up from the hotel was prompt, passport control requires a payment 15€ payment per person and they do take card payments. Border and passport control move along moved faster for EU passport holders. Otherwise pace was good. Needed a bit more information from the tour company on what we can do on the island and basically we planned our own day trip, it’s really easy to get around in Kos people are super friendly. A tip for eSIM packages arrange for data before leaving Bodrum as the mobile network in Kos is different. Also note currency is in euros, however, can draw money or use cards.

Kos is worth to visit if you are in Bodrum

The agency takes care about your ferry ticjet, picking you up at the hotel and bringing you vack sfter return. This was done perfect. Once at the harbour you are checking in and you have to oay 15 EUR for fees. The boat was decent with a small bar, WC, and not too crowded. Kos is always charming, the old town full if shops, the nain square full of restaurants. I visited thd Archaeological museum, nice, but nothinv special. Went to Tarzan beach, nice beach with free wifi, wc, showers. Food was great, too.

Only 4 hours in Kos - misleading

Despite selecting hotel pick-up, I was informed the night before the hotel pick-up was not provided and I needed to meet at the port. The booking stated 6 hours in Kos, one would assume this is clear time, not waiting in line to cross passport control and waiting to get back on the ferry. The ride took just over an hour one way, not the 20 mins promised. This means that by 11am you are clear of customs but you need to be back at the ferry by 3pm giving 4 hours instead of the stated 6hrs. This would be fine if specifically mentioned but the details are very misleading. No transport back to the hotel either at the end of the day. A nice few hours in Kos but I wish I got what was promised as there was really only time to grab a coffee, wander to a lunch spot, check out a few stores while wandering, and head back to the ferry.

Operator response

We are sorry for any inconvenience caused. However, please understand that weather and sea conditions are beyond our control. Likewise, procedures and waiting times at both Greek and Turkish customs offices are determined solely by the relevant authorities. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Beware of additional port fees

I would give it a 5 star rating because it was pretty straightforward and seem less. My only issue was the port taxes we were charged. In addition to paying $120, I had to pay another 34 euros in cash. I asked them what if I didn’t have any euros, but my question was ignored. I clearly saw someone else use their credit card. I understand that the port taxes must be paid, but it should have been clearly stated and that cash payment only. That’s all folks!

Operator response

Thank you for your review. We hope to welcome you back again soon. Please note that port fees are charged by government authorities, and the method of collection may vary at their discretion at any time.
