Shore Excursion for Cruise Passengers in Bodrum

This Bodrum Half Day Walking City Tour also works as a shore excursion from the Bodrum cruise port — a popular choice for passengers who have one day ashore. Shared departures follow a fixed timetable, so please send us your ship’s arrival and departure times when booking — we confirm pier pickup or suggest the private option for tight port calls. Tell us how many hours your ship stays in port and we will confirm that the full programme fits comfortably. Simply share your cruise itinerary and the date you are in Bodrum, and we will reserve your places.

Day Trip to Bodrum from the Greek Islands (Kos, Kalymnos and Leros)

Guests staying on Kos, Kalymnos or Leros can enjoy the Bodrum Half Day Walking City Tour as a day trip from the Greek islands to Turkey — from Kos the ferry takes 30 minutes; from Kalymnos the ferry takes about 1 hour; from Leros the ferry takes about 2 hours, so the excursion can be planned between the morning and evening sailings. Pickup is at the Bodrum ferry terminal, and the tour is timed so you can catch the return ferry comfortably. For longer itineraries we check the ferry timetable first and confirm that the full programme fits your day. Please bring your passport and check the Turkish entry requirements for your nationality before travelling.
