Do you know.....

Hi all

My wife and I are back in Calis in June again for the 12th year on the trot for a couple of weeks and can't wait!

While we are there some friends are calling into Rhodes for a day whilst on a cruise around the med. We would like to meet up with them and I believe there is a ferry from Fethiye that does day trips. I have tried to search for details but seem to get conflicting reports as to whether the ferry is running. We would have to go on Monday  the 16th of June as that is the only day they are there.

Does anybody know if the ferry is running on that day?

Thanks in anticipation

Chris

It should be running depending on conditions of course.
There is a timetable on line here...

Yes they run on a Monday.  Check what time your friends get in as you have to return at 4.30pm.  Or you could stay over for a night or two.  We have done both the day trip and staying over for a couple of days.
We usually book directly with the people who run the ferry Yesil Dalyan Travel.

the yesil dalyan office which used to be on the gunluckbashi road is now closed. does anybody no if they are still trading or not?

[Rimms]

They were certainly trading up until the end of last season. The office we used to book is in Fethiye near to the Alesta Yacht hotel.

Many thanks for you prompt replies....looks like we may be in luck then. Our friends ship docks at 8.00 am and is there until 5.00 pm. So time for a quick drink or two!

Kind regards

Chris

Incidentally ....do you know how long the journey takes? Can't find that on the website....

Kind regards

The Office on the Gunlukbasi Road has been closed for a while now, they use the one down by the Marina.
The journey takes 90 minutes.  Do not rush to the front of the boat where all the windows are, as it gets very hot in there.  Also, on the return journey, get ready to get off and stand near the door before the boat docks, as you have to go through customs, which is a hut with a window and if you are lucky two men working if not only one.  A long queue forms and if there are any problems with the person in front and their passport you have to wait a long time.    Remember you can also bring back some Duty Free.

Yesil Dalyan no longer in business.

[Jacqui Harvey]

In that case, they run the ferry and they also have a website where you can book the ferry.  I heard they stopped their transport section of the business but kept on the ferry business.  So, if they are no longer in business has the ferry stopped?  Does not seem so looking at their website.
I think we need to be careful here as if it was my business I would not be pleased if people were saying it was closed.
Perhaps someone who is living in Turkey can confirm or deny these statements?
I just Google Yesil Dalyan Fethiye and came up with a page full of Yesil adverts, no mention of closing
