About This Tour

Experience the extraordinary — a day trip to another country without ever packing a suitcase. The Rhodes ferry from Marmaris is consistently one of the most searched travel experiences in the region, and for good reason: in under an hour, you go from Turkey to a Greek island, adding an entirely different culture, cuisine, and history to your holiday.

Rhodes Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site — a perfectly preserved medieval walled city that genuinely delivers the wow factor. Walk the ancient Street of the Knights, explore the imposing Palace of the Grand Masters, visit Byzantine churches, Ottoman mosques, and Jewish synagogues that coexist within walls that have stood since the 14th century.

Beyond the Old Town, our tour includes a scenic coastal drive to Lindos — a picture-perfect white-washed village crowned by a 4th-century BC acropolis with breathtaking views over the Aegean. Whether you climb to the top or simply explore the village below, Lindos is one of the most photogenic spots in Greece.

With hotel pickup, return ferry tickets, port taxes, and a professional guide all included, this is the easiest international excursion you will ever take. Just bring your passport and a sense of adventure.

Don't Forget Your Passport

Rhodes is EU territory (Greece). UK passport holders do not need a visa, but you must bring a valid passport — you will pass through passport control in both directions. A driving licence or EU ID card is not accepted. Please check your passport has at least 3 months validity beyond your travel date.

Two countries in one day — what an experience! The Old Town genuinely feels like stepping back in time. The Palace of the Grand Masters was incredible and our guide was so knowledgeable. Lindos was the highlight for us. Worth every penny!

Das war der beste Ausflug unseres Urlaubs! Die mittelalterliche Altstadt ist atemberaubend, und das Essen in der Taverne war fantastisch. Die Fähre war komfortabel und pünktlich. Sehr empfehlenswert!

Perfect day out! We loved walking the Street of the Knights and the views from Lindos Acropolis were unreal. Greek food was so fresh and the shopping was great value. Already planning to book again next year.

Wonderful cultural experience. The ferry ride was smooth, passport control was quick, and Rhodes Old Town is genuinely beautiful. Wish we had more time at Lindos — maybe next time we will stay overnight!
