When booking our trip to Turkey, we had no idea we would be able to visit Rhodes while we were there. We booked our excursion through Beach corner tours who explained everything clearly to us.
We were picked up on time from our hotel in the morning and taken to the Port. Check in through customs was very simple.
The ride on the Catamaran was brilliant, something for the bucket list.
We had 6 hours to spend in Rhodes as we pleased.
Departure was at 17:00 and our coach was waiting for us as we arrived back in Marmaris, delivering us back to our hotel.
I would highly recommend taking this day trip if you are staying in Marmaris, its a great way to visit another country while you are holiday.

Booked online through Trip Adviser. Picked up by minibus. Stopped at loads of hotels to pick up others, as it turned out they were mostly Russian. Arrived at the baths where we were split up by language spoken. First up was 30 minutes in sauna before being taken to the hammam, here three burly non-English speaking men scrubbed and bubbled us. A really nice experience!. Then on for 30 minutes massage, again very good. then the upsell, an extra 45 minutes "medical" massage. £25 each. Good value compared to UK. Although, in the future, I might just book directly, there was an English speaker and get a taxi (which are very cheap). Recommended.

So there is a 6.30am start, but this is because it takes so long to get there. Please bear this in mind when booking as we had a family on our trip complain about the distance....sorry, we cannot teleport there. The coach is comfortable and air conditioned and you are constantly advised to wear your mask. Although typically, the English seem to have a problem with this and either wear under their chin or don't cover their noses which is annoying for everyone else on the coach - plus the guide who has to constantly remind you.
You travel for around 1 hour to 1.5 hours before you get breakfast. This is a "buffet style" but is only bread, honey/jam, olives, cucumber, tomato and ONE boiled egg. You do get tea or coffee. This was not enough for us and read reviews before going so packed additional food. I would recommend to do the same or buy some things from the shop there. It seemed reasonable pricing. You stay here for about 15 - 20 minutes before you need to be on the coach. One guy got off to get something for the garage 2 minutes before we were due to leave, and we had to wait around for 10 minutes before he came back...even though the driver said they would leave if people were not back - this never happened disappointingly and happened again later in the day - we were waiting 20 minutes for people to get back after the time stated! I would prefer if they would leave them.Harsh, but it eats into our time.
The stop after breakfast is Pamukkale. You get into the venue which is all open, so bring sun cream as there is no shade other than in the shops. The guide gives you some spoil about the "theatre" and then lets you do your own thing before telling us you need to be back for 1.45pm (we had 3 hours here). So we explored the theatre which is 100% the best thing there. Then walked around some of the old ruins down the far end towards the south entrance. Hardly anyone down there.
Then we went to Pamukkale where the calcium pools are. You have to take your shoes off to walk down and MUST wear a mask - although most people took them off once they got further down. It was so crowded and cannot social distance here. We walked down to two pools but didn't go to the end. Some bits are really slippy but they weren't as bad as the other reviews make out. You cannot see the bottom of the pools. They look lovely but some have stones in so you need to be careful. It is a long walk down to the bottom. We didn't bother - great view from the top and once you have seen one pool then you dont really need to see anymore.
You can then head up to Cleopatras pool which is inside and you can get a locker. This is 100TL each. Not a bad price really, if you want photos then either you have to have one person in the water and stand around the edge to take photos or ask the photographers there to take some at a price (we didn't do it so I don't know how much this is). But you cannot take your phones or cameras in the water. I personally wasn't overly fussed with this pool but my boyfriend really liked it. The water is really warm like a bath and there is a deep part. Nobody has masks and it can get very crowded. Just be careful of the pillars in the pool as you tend to knock yourself on a few.
Inside this area is also a cafe and seating area. There are some dogs here too - well behaved but do beg for food. The ice cream there is pretty good. You can get a 5 ball cone for around £4.50 so a little steep but it tastes good. Drinks and other food available but we had our own. There are showers and toilets in here also. Toilets were a bit rank as people were just doing poos and leaving them in the toilet??! dirty.
The bus driver was selling water onboard which was good i think it was 25TL a bottle.
The guide was very knowledgeable on things and did a few speeches. Sometimes it was hard to understand some things he said but we got the gist of it. But he explained everything really well.
Once we finished at Pamukkale we headed to an Onyx shop. This is one of the unnecessary stops for me. Remove it entirely. They take you to a small area and give you a 5 min talk about the stones etc then take you into their shop where everything is in Euros - and quite expensive. I think the lowest value item was a small stone elephant that would fit in the palm of your hand for €15. Then you end in their cafe. My concern here was that we were told we could leave things on the bus but the driver went off and left the bus open and our things unsupervised?
After this (around 2.30) we went to a restaurant for lunch. It should have been around 2pm but as people couldn't get back in time it delayed us by 30 mins ish. So we were all starving by this point. Good news is lunch is a buffet but plentiful. Multiple options including pasta and watermelon. Drinks here are extra and you cannot bring your own drinks in, or they will charge you for them as well. Really nice food too! You are here for around 30 minutes.
After this we had two more stops on the way home. The first was a leather factory. Again, please remove this from the tour. Completely pointless and ruined the whole day overall. You go into this room which is a cat walk to watch two "models" exhibit clothes (cringe) . My favourite part were the winter coats, in 35c summer heat....
You are then shown into the main shop area - only a few of us actually got off the coach to go in here. They have so many staff, and they follow you around like a lost puppy, seriously close and i'm sure ours didn't have a mask.
He kept walking with us until we left the shop/factory asking us if we liked anything and if my boyfriend wanted anything - like i was stopping him buying anything?
i am pretty sure the majority of British people HATE this. I wanted to leave straight away. It was as if they thought i was going to steal something. On the way out another sales staff asked where we were from and put his hand out to shake hands. We ignore his question and asked where the toilets were and he shouted "WHERE ARE YOU FROM?" my boyfriend asked again where the toilets are and the guy just looked at us blank. So we walked out to find them. It was so rude and the rubbish the owner said about "no hassle sell" - Sure. the cheapest jacket i saw was €690 but i only looked at a couple. Prices were sky high. Apparently one person in the group showed interest and the salesman offered him €295 for the same €600 jacket. You can buy cheaper leather in the UK and probably look loads better too. I think the guide gets commission for bringing us there but this was just shocking behaviour from their staff and not related to the day at all.
I was also told at this point by another passenger that I had paid a lot more for my trip on trip adviser than if i booked in Turkey at one of the reps. I think this was about £10 more expensive too.
We then started our way back to the hotels. But not without another cheeky stop at the same place we had breakfast for a look around for 15 mins. They do take card here so don't worry if you don't have cash. I paid for the Cleopatra pool on card, i paid for the bus fuel in the shell garage to cover the tickets as we didn't have any money. A little dodgy but sorted us out.
The trip back was pretty smooth. We got back around 6pm so it's pretty much 12 hours out. Worth it for the day trip. But as i said, get rid of the "sell to tourists" stops and just extend the time at Pamukkale so we weren't rushing. Otherwise i would have given more stars.

We have booked the transfer from and to airport, inbound transfer was OK, except the driver got lost and couldn't find our hotel, but we were not in a rush so OK. The outbound transfer was a horrible and stressful experience, when the car was almost one hour late and the response on the phone was wait a little bit longer. In the end, we made it just on time for our flight, but at the price of experiencing a fast&furious ride, the driver was speeding like crazy. So no thank you never again!

Not worth it at all, waited for other people to turn up, drove around a dirt track really slow for 10 minutes and through a puddle while they hosed you down with water. Drove up the street stopped for 5 mins drove back to where they rubbed mud on you to make it look like you’d had fun. Would recommend to anyone under the age of 12

We booked for 3 buggys on the safari
We all followed in single file around the terrain
Lots of photos being taken
Through a river
And around a course through another muddy puddle
More pics being taken
Never really got going
Was fun
At the end was showered off to remove the mud
The asked for a tip and sold the pictures
My daughter really enjoyed it

For those of you who are seeking adventures, this activity should definitely be on your list!
At around 9:30 am, you will be picked up from your hotel, and led to a wide boat. There, you will have the opportunity to meet new people (like I did as I was travelling alone), to take a sunbath, and to dive twice at 2 different locations.
The first dive is mainly dedicated to learn diving hand signals, to make sure you are breathing correctly, and to break your fear. It will last for around 15 minutes, at a maximum of 6 meters of depth. Professional divers will be surrounding you all the time, therefore no need to panic, even if it is your first time – it was my first time as well. In case you face any problem, they will be there for you. So do not worry, the divers are extremely professional and friendly! In addition, a professional diver will record a video of you feeding the fish and striking cute poses under water. You can buy these photos + video for 100 Turkish Lira (around 20$).
The second dive is mainly to have fun. You will dive for around 15 to 20 minutes at up to 10 meters in depth, dance underwater with your professional diver and have a great time indeed!
It should be noted that lunch is one ham and cheese sandwich. So for many people it was not enough. I personally advise you to bring some light snacks with you.
Have fun!!

Booked this trip with Thomas Cook, it was awfuly! there is no one to tell you what to do, where to go. Leaving Marmaris is messy, then the catamaran is more like a ferry. very uncomfortable seats, takes too long to arrive to Rhodes, where clearing immigration is not much better, takes over 30mins to leave the port. We decided to do the bus tour to see more of the highlights. We had to be back to the port for 4:30pm, the time in Rhodes is very limited and if you miss the ferry back not sure what will happen, the bus driver in Marmaris did not wait for anyone.

When we landed in Dalaman, the driver was already there to pick up my friends and I holding up a sign with my name. The drive there was also comfortable and the scenery was to die for. Cannot find a fault in this transfer at all.
