Bodrum to Kos Ferry

Bodrum and Kos sit only a short stretch of the Aegean apart, and this is one of the few crossings on the Greek islands network that starts on the Turkish coast. It is popular with travellers based in Bodrum who fancy a day on Greek soil, and with visitors to Kos looking to cross over and explore Bodrum's castle and old harbour for an afternoon. Because it is an international crossing, remember to bring your passport -- there is a border check on both sides, so budget a little extra time at the port beyond what you would for a purely domestic Greek route. Check the schedule box above for the latest confirmed sailing dates before you travel.

Several companies work this short hop, running fast passenger boats rather than large car ferries, so departures are frequent through the height of summer and taper off gradually as the season winds down. Exact daily counts shift month to month, so treat the figures in the table below as a guide and always confirm the day's actual departure times with the operator or on Ferryhopper before heading to the port.
