Title: Rhodes Ferry Closed???
Post by: Jacqui Harvey on May 07, 2014, 11:12:56 AM

I have read on T.A. that Yesil Dalyan have closed the Rhodes Ferry, but as still taking bookings and busing people down to Marmaris to get the ferry.  Anyone heard anything about this?

Both vessels have been painted recently, think ferry nearly finished.  Both alongisde the pier the other day, though were moved off and moored in the harbour when the cruise ship was in. Think back now though. Not due to start service from here till tomorrow I heard.

I just read a message from the office on T.A. to say they are not running at the moment, but hope to be soon.
Thanks for the information, that was kind of you.

It has never been a reliable source of travel from Fethiye, Marmaris is usually better and was at one time offered as an alternative, just the transfer from Fethiye to Marmaris not very enticing.

The office was certainly up & running y'day. The sea has been quite rough for the last week or so, so not sure I would fancy being on a hydrofoil at the mom  :-\

My daughter and her partner were supposed to be going on Friday, but when they went to pay on Thursday they were told it had been cancelled due to "technical problems".

Like they've had all winter to get the thing ready and now they discover there's a problem - not good on forward planning LOL.
