The Rhodes boats leave from Fethiye harbour, which Ertürk lists as Fethiye Liman; Direct Ferries gives the terminal address as Fevzi Çakmak Caddesi in the Karagözler district. Our sources describe it as central, although Ferryhopper puts the port about a 15-minute drive from the centre, so allow for traffic if you are coming from further out.
Short answer
- Terminal: Fethiye port (Fethiye Liman in Ertürk’s listing); the ferry terminal and customs building share the quay.
- Location: On Fevzi Çakmak Caddesi in Karagözler according to Direct Ferries; in OpenStreetMap the terminal is about 500 m west of the Fethiye town hall.
- Distance to the centre: By our calculation from OpenStreetMap data, about 500 m in a straight line from the town hall and about 650 m by road, so roughly a 10-minute walk. That does not match Ferryhopper’s “about 15 minutes by car from the centre”; allow for traffic anyway if you are coming from further out.
- Getting there: On foot from the centre, or by dolmuş or taxi; Fethiye bus station is about 3 km from the port by road (our calculation).
- Operators (2026): Tilos Travel (Sea Star Lindos, Sea Star Tilos), Makri Travel, İDO, Sky Marine Ferries.
- Routes from here: Fethiye → Rhodes
- Check-in: Tilos Travel says check-in at its office at the port must be done one hour before departure, earlier in peak season, and passengers must be on board 15 minutes before the boat leaves.
- Parking: No verified information; ask your operator

Getting to the port
- Dolmuş (minibus): Ferryhopper says several dolmuş routes connect the port with the centre. Local minibuses to Çalış, Hisarönü, Ölüdeniz and Kayaköy stop opposite the big mosque in the centre.
- Taxi: Ferryhopper mentions a taxi rank at the port, which is the easiest option with luggage or from Ölüdeniz and Hisarönü.
- Bus: Intercity coaches arrive at Fethiye Otogar, outside the centre next to the Erasta shopping centre; take a dolmuş or taxi to the harbour.
- From the airport: From Dalaman Airport, about 60 km away, Muttaş line 48-25 runs via Göcek to Fethiye Otogar in about an hour for 300 TL (as of October 2026). The official airport taxi cooperative lists 3,000 TL to Fethiye (as of October 2026). See Dalaman Airport transfers.
Check-in and passport control
Tilos Travel says check-in at its office at the port must be done one hour before departure, earlier in peak season, and passengers must be on board 15 minutes before the boat leaves. Your passport must be valid for at least six months from the travel date; after check-in you pass Turkish exit passport control.
Facilities
Ferryhopper lists restaurants, shops, ATMs, toilets and tourist information offices near the port. Turkey’s For Life places the Tilos Travel office close to the harbour on Cahit Gündüz Caddesi; check the office address on your booking.

Good to know
- If you are staying in Ölüdeniz or Hisarönü, allow for the ride into town on top of the one-hour check-in, or book a package with hotel transfer.
- From 25 October 2026 to 28 March 2027 Rhodes is one hour behind Fethiye, so check whether the time on your ticket is Greek or Turkish time.
