Rhodes is almost a stone's throw from Turkey and with its whitewashed villages and rich medieval castles, makes for a great daytrip. From Fethiye harbour, you'll ride a hydrofoil to Rhodes town, the capital, and have the day to explore its history-steeped streets.

The town is packed with attraction – with its picturesque harbour, new town and walled old quarter built by the Knights of St John. Tick through sights including the Street of the Knights, the vast Palace of the Grand Masters and 15th century Hospital of the Knights. Once you're done with history, explore the cobbled passageways – they're filled with fountains, churches and shops selling local handicrafts and delicacies. Or head for the new town's pavement cafés and chic boutiques.

And don't miss Mandraki harbour. Home to luxury yachts and waterfront cafés, it was once home to the legendary Colossus of Rhodes – one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

We did this trip last year and it was a little chaotic in terms of passport queues, however, on this occasion we did not experience any delays. For those that do this trip for the first time, you are picked up, transported to the harbour where you are directed to get your ticket. The time of your return is on your return ticket, you are not told this information. Rhodes itself is beautiful with plenty to see, eat and drink. We were then met upon our return and transported back to our hotel

Although the allocated time to wander around Rhodes was not enough to discover its stunning views and highlights the transfers and the trip are well organised. I just hope that there is an option to include at least an overnight stay together with the package holiday from Dalaman or other destinations.

Long day.

I was a little disappointed that the ferry was indoors and had no outside option. Considering the travelling was 3hrs on the ferry this is a key bit of information that customers should be told. It spoilt our entire day, sitting indoors for a total of 4hrs (including the coach transfer too). Not at all what we expected. The trip was advertised as a 7hr trip. We were gone for 12hrs , 7am - nearly 7 pm. This also should have been stated. Rhodes itself was amazing though.

Easy to book on the app. Prompt pick up. Enjoyable ferry crossing and Rhodes town is excellent for shopping sightseeing and dining. We thought there was sufficient time to spend in Rhodes. We thought maybe a little more communication around arrangements on the return. Once off the ferry back in Turkey nobody was waiting for us. We did end up finding the driver nowhere near where we got dropped off. Apart from that I’d recommend the trip.

It was a nice trip but there was a lot of incorrect details. 1. Catamaran- it was a ferry and you were seated on airplane seats, few restrictive. 2. 8 hour trip - it was 12 hours and a lot of queuing and waiting around. 3. You had to queue to get tickets, to go through passport control, for luggage and to get on the boat. At the other end you had to queue for passport control and luggage. That there and back, too much. 4. Taxi transfer - waited in mini bus 45 minutes with no water in high heat
