From Kos: Independent Day Trip to Bodrum

1. From Kos: Independent Day Trip to Bodrum

After being picked up from the port in Kos, take a stunning boat cruise across the Aegean Sea to Bodrum. Once you have passed through passport control and customs, enjoy a full day to explore this incredible ancient city on your own.  When you arrive in the port, gaze in awe at the beautiful white houses built amphitheatrically on the hillside, dozens of sailboats and yachts, plus one of the most imposing castles in the world. Take a walk along the picturesque streets and admire the architecture. Take in the historical sights and ancient ruins, including the Castle and the ancient Greek city of Halicarnassus, the Windmilles, and the ancient Greek Theatre with 13,000 seats. If you are not a history lover, take a stroll through the small streets and get to know the local cuisine instead. Enjoy a Turkish coffee or tea at a traditional coffee shop, or try 'kebab' and other traditional 'mezedes' and sweet 'kazandibi' - some of the most popular Turkish specialties. After that, head into the really big bazaar for a chance to practice your bargaining skills. Shop for all kinds of souvenirs, folk art, crafts, and clothing. Soak up the incredible lively atmosphere and enjoy the aromas of the spices and local produce. Many stallholders accept euros and almost everyone speaks Greek or English. For a truly Turkish experience, visit a Turkish bath for a little relaxation. Discover how Turkish bathhouses have held a special place in the Turkish culture for hundreds of years. Relax in the steam roam while a highly skilled masseur works away the stresses and strains that have built up in your body during the year. At the end of your incredible day trip, take the boat back to Kos Port in time for your onward journey.

Very well organized, the local agency explained everything via WhatsApp the night before. Ticket redemption was no problem. The ship was good, nice staff. Punctual departure both when driving there and back. Time in Bodrum is enough for shopping or sightseeing. It is best to go to the exit of the ship shortly before arrival, then you avoid long queues at passport control. Will do the trip again next time we visit Kos.

Everything worked out perfectly. From the hotel transfer to the catamaran ride to Bodrum. We had a very nice tour guide who explained everything to us. You could have taken a tour of Bodrum Castle, but we didn't want that. I can only recommend it, Bodrum is very beautiful and if you want to go shopping, you are in good hands here and at a good price. Of course you have to act.

We spontaneously booked the boat tour and are very happy with it. Everything went smoothly. The employees were all very nice & helpful. There is enough time in Bodrum to explore the area, eat and shop. Or to get a little impression of the city. I would recommend everyone (it's best to sit downstairs, you get really wet upstairs)

Absolutely great day don’t miss out worth a day across to turkey and the staff are amazing and couldn’t be more helpful and entertaining

Cheap efficient, on time but was a longer journey than expected.
