Set sail for the medieval island of Rhodes on this Rhodes day tour from Bodrum, an independent international daily excursion by ferry to one of the Aegean's most historic islands. This day trip gives you the freedom to explore the UNESCO-listed Old Town at your own pace before returning to Bodrum.
This Rhodes Independent 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.
Guests staying on Kos, Kalymnos or Leros can enjoy the Rhodes Independent 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.
Rhodes is one of the best-preserved medieval towns in Europe and lies within easy ferry reach of Bodrum. This daily Rhodes excursion from Bodrum is a flexible, self-guided day tour for independent travellers. Organised by Inca Tour, a TURSAB-licensed operator. Please bring your passport for this international day trip.

My husband and I chose Inca Tour for our honeymoon and we are so glad we did. The boutique hotel selection was beautiful and the Bosphorus dinner cruise was so romantic. Thank you for making our trip special!
It was important for us to have a guide who spoke Russian, and Ender was wonderful. He explained every detail at Dolmabahce Palace. The Princes Islands day trip was a beautiful break from the busy city.
Our guide Ender was incredibly knowledgeable about Turkish history. The hot-air balloon ride at sunrise in Cappadocia was the highlight of our trip. Everything was perfectly organized — from airport pick-up to the last d...
Ender was our Italian-speaking guide and we felt like family. He took us to local spots tourists never see. The hotel choice in Sultanahmet was perfect for walking everywhere.
10+ years later we still talk about our Cappadocia balloon ride and the Bosphorus sunset cruise. Some memories are timeless. Thank you Inca Tour!
