Very good Triponly negatives is the queuing in the ports and doing passport control was long but other than that it was great. When you arrive in turkey you can get bus with a tour guide who brings you for a photo opportunity and then to the gold factory , there is no hassle to buy anything if it’s not your thing there is a cafe you can wait and have a Turkish tea. Then you are brought to grand bazaar and giving a time to meet back in same spot for bus back to port , please go to recommend restaurant as the Turkish kebab was amazing. If none of this appeals to you then you are free to do your own thing and meet back at port for departure . We will definitely do this again when we are in Rhodes

A nice trip

It is a pity that this excursion does not allow the hotel to pick you up. I know Marmaris and was therefore glad that there was no obligation to take the bus tour through Marmaris. I found it irritating that there was no guide on site at the port of Rhodes and on the ferry to Marmaris. Longer passport checks must be expected.

Nice day trip to Marmaris with a lot of time on site.

Contrary to some other reviews, I cannot confirm that the excursion on site is purely a sales event. On arrival in Marmaris you can decide for yourself whether you would like to take the city tour by bus and find out in advance where the bus would take you. So we had over 5 hours of free time on site because we decided against the bus. This time was more than sufficient. The catamaran that is used to drive from Rhodes to Marmaris is quite fast and also offers drinks and a few snacks to buy. So you are provided with everything. You don't necessarily have to exchange money on site. We could pay with the EC card anywhere, even small amounts. Sometimes the euro is also accepted for payment.
