Why travel by ferry from Bodrum to Kos?

Whether you're travelling alone, as a couple or with the family, a Bodrum to Kos ferry can be a convenient and enjoyable option for getting to Kos. Here are 3 reasons why we think a ferry from Bodrum to Kos is an ideal way to travel.

Enjoy a very attentive staff
Throughout the journey from Bodrum to Kos, a professional and helpful crew will be on hand to assist you. They will orient you in the ship, guide you to your cabin, serve you in the restaurant and answer any questions you may have. You can find an 'information point' on the ship, mostly on the main deck.
So you don't have to worry about the amount of luggage
One piece of luggage is free, all the others have to be paid for. This is often the formula used when we travel with other modes of transport, which very often leads to a significant increase in the bill. However, when you board a Yesil Marmaris Lines, Dodecanese Flying Dolphins, Turkish Sea Lines, Bodrum Express Lines or Dentur Avrasya ferry in Bodrum, you are free to take as much luggage as you like, as long as it is contained in your vehicle. If you are travelling as a pedestrian, the conditions may be more restrictive as you will need to carry your luggage with you until you arrive in Kos. However, it is worth asking the Yesil Marmaris Lines, Dodecanese Flying Dolphins, Turkish Sea Lines, Bodrum Express Lines or Dentur Avrasya staff if the ship has a luggage storage facility where you can leave your bags until you reach Kos.
Not to be bored on board... unlike the plane
If you compare the speed, the plane is certainly the fastest way to get from Bodrum to Kos. The problem is that you are stuck in your seat for several hours. During the Bodrum Kos ferry journey with Dentur Avrasya, Bodrum Express Lines, Turkish Sea Lines, Dodecanese Flying Dolphins or Yesil Marmaris Lines, there are countless opportunities to enjoy restaurants and bars, or to stroll and sunbathe on a promenade deck... A flight will never provide you with so many services during the trip.
