Transport and Logistics: Taxis, Buses, and Ferries: how it works in Turkey — first-hand

From real experience

tipWhen traveling between Fethiye and Marmaris, consider ferry and bus transfer options.
Buses to Marmaris cost around 60 EUR. Ferries can be cheaper due to promotions, especially until September. Be aware of port taxes: they are often included in Marmaris ferry tickets but are additional for Fethiye departures. Round trip from Marmaris: ~95 EUR. From Fethiye: ~85 EUR + ~20 EUR port tax. Port tax in Fethiye is around 6 EUR, while on Rhodes it can be 10 EUR. The final cost may be similar after accounting for all fees.

tipWhen planning transit from Turkey to Greek islands via ferry: (1) Avoid same-day transfers; allow at least one overnight stay in ports like Marmaris or Fethiye to account for potential flight delays.
(2) Avoid 'open date' ferry tickets during peak season, as they do not guarantee space; book specific times through reliable providers (e.g., marmarisferry, ferriesingreece).

riskMoscow-Istanbul flight routes face frequent disruptions.
Avoid tight connections; choose daytime or evening flights, as early morning flights are more prone to cancellations. It is recommended to book flights to Istanbul and separate ground transport to Bulgaria to mitigate transit risks.
