The high-speed catamarans operating on the Turgutreis - Kos line are exclusively designed for foot passengers to ensure maximum speed and efficiency. If you plan to explore the deeper parts of Kos Island, we highly recommend renting a car, scooter, or bicycle directly at Kos Port upon your arrival.

The travel time depends on the type of vessel you choose. High-speed hydrofoils or catamaran ferries complete the journey between Turgutreis and Kos Port in approximately 20 to 25 minutes, making it an incredibly convenient option for a quick daily excursion.

Yes, daily island hopping is highly popular. Ferries typically depart from Turgutreis Marina in the morning and return from Kos Island in the late afternoon. This gives you around 6 to 8 hours of free time to enjoy Greek gastronomy, historic sights like the Asklepion, and local shopping before heading back to Bodrum.

Since you are crossing an international maritime border into the Schengen Zone, a valid passport is mandatory for all passengers. Depending on your nationality, you may also require a valid Schengen Visa or be eligible for the temporary Greek Island Gate Visa program. Please ensure your documents are valid for at least 3 to 6 months beyond your travel date.

Yes, we offer stress-free, air-conditioned shuttle transfers directly from major hotels and resorts across the Bodrum peninsula to the Turgutreis port. This ensures you arrive at the international departure terminal on time without dealing with local traffic or taxi availability early in the morning.

Because this is an international departure involving passport control and customs checks, all passengers must be present at the Turgutreis ferry terminal at least 1 hour before the scheduled departure time. Boarding gates usually close 15 to 20 minutes prior to sail time.

Foot passengers are welcome to bring standard holiday luggage, suitcases, and backpacks onboard free of charge. There are dedicated luggage storage areas on the vessels. However, carrying hazardous materials, sharp objects, or open food items across the international border is strictly prohibited.

 Maritime safety is the absolute priority. If the port authority halts departures due to unexpected strong winds or heavy seas, your crossing will be canceled. In these rare cases, our team will immediately notify you via text or email to either reschedule your trip for the next available sailing or process a full, hassle-free refund.

To avoid the long queues at the port ticket offices and guarantee your seats during the peak summer season, you can easily reserve your ferry tickets online through our secure booking system or instantly via WhatsApp. We recommend booking at least a few days in advance to secure your preferred departure times.
