Why take a ferry from Kos to Rhodes ?

Whether you're travelling solo, with a partner or with the family, a Kos to Rhodes ferry can be a convenient and enjoyable option for getting to Rhodes. Here are 3 reasons why we think Kos to Rhodes ferry is an ideal way to travel.

Transporting your bike is not a problem
On the train, bus or plane, it is often very complicated and sometimes impossible to travel with this cumbersome companion: your bike.

You travel from Kos to Rhodes in complete peace of mind, without fear of your bike being damaged. You will find it when you disembark on your arrival in Rhodes.
It's much less boring than on a plane
If we compare the speed, the plane is certainly the fastest way to go from Kos to Rhodes. But you are stuck in your seat, tied down by your seatbelt and the opportunities to move around are almost nil. During the Kos Rhodes ferry trip with Dodekanisos Seaways or Blue Star Ferries, there are countless opportunities for entertainment with restaurants and bars, or to stroll and sunbathe on a promenade deck... A flight will never give you so many services during the trip.
To finally take the time to travel

On board a Blue Star Ferries or Dodekanisos Seaways ferry you will nevertheless enjoy leaving Kos slowly and sailing at less than 40km/h to Rhodes. All ships are equipped with lounges, restaurants, promenade decks, and sometimes much more... You may even find your Kos-Rhodes crossing a little too short!
