Meis Express no longer sails Kaş–Kastellorizo every day. Its own timetable, checked on 31 October 2026 for the rest of the year, lists one round trip on 1, 2, 4, 7, 11, 13, 14, 16, 18, 20, 21, 25 and 28 November (Kaş 09:30 or 10:00, back from Kastellorizo 15:00 or 15:30) and on 4, 5, 7, 12, 19 and 26 December (back 16:00 or 16:30); nothing is listed for January 2027 (news, 31 October 2026). Turyol’s booking system shows the same boat every day to 31 December, which does not match the company’s own list. Adults pay €25 one way or same-day return online; the boats take passengers only. Book at meisexpress.com, by phone or on WhatsApp.
Meis Express is the ferry brand of Ferah Turizm, a group A travel and shipping agency in Kaş (TÜRSAB licence A 2509) that says it has worked in Kaş since 2002 and has run the Kaş–Kastellorizo passenger service for 20 years. It names two boats of its own, Kastellorizo and Bahriyeoğlu. Its website also works as a ticket platform for other Turkey–Greece crossings.

How to book
Book on meisexpress.com, which advertises a 25 euro online fare for Kaş–Kastellorizo, or by phone or WhatsApp. The fare table shown in October 2026, with no season label, gave adults 25 euros one way or same-day return and 35 euros for an open or different-day return; children 15 to 25 euros and infants 5 to 15 euros. It does not say whether port taxes are included, and traveller reports in our route guide mention a Greek port tax of about 5 euros. The same site sells tickets for other crossings such as Çeşme–Chios and Kuşadası–Samos as an agency.
Vehicles
No. The operator’s fare table states that no vehicle capacity is available on Kaş–Kastellorizo.
Luggage and pets
Sources conflict on pets. Ferryhopper says Meis Express does not allow pets, while meisexpress.com has a pet page listing the documents needed for a dog or cat (microchip, rabies vaccination, rabies antibody test, health record, customs notice at least one day ahead). Ask the operator before you travel with an animal. No luggage rules are published; Ferryhopper describes luggage as flexible. The site also posts a Megisti police notice listing documents for passengers under 18, including notarised consent from both parents, so check it before travelling with children.

FAQ
How long is the Meis Express crossing?
The operator’s timetable does not give a duration. Kastellorizo is just off Kaş, and our route guide puts the crossing at about 20 minutes, 10 to 30 depending on the boat and the sea. See our Kaş to Kastellorizo ferry guide.
Is Meis Express the same as Meis Ferry Lines?
No. They are two separate Turkish operators on the Kaş–Kastellorizo route, with their own websites, boats and departure times.
Can I do a day trip to Kastellorizo with Meis Express?
Yes. In autumn 2026 the timetable leaves Kaş in the morning and returns from the island at 16:00 or 16:30, and the same-day return fare was 25 euros for adults as of October 2026. Check that your passport and visa situation allows a Schengen entry.
Does Meis Express accept applicants with a previous Schengen refusal?
Its visa-on-arrival page, which applies to Turkish citizens, says applications from people who were refused a Schengen visa before are not accepted.
How much is a Meis Express ticket?
The fare table shown in October 2026 gave adults €25 one way or same-day return and €35 for an open or different-day return; children €15–25 and infants €5–15. It does not say whether port taxes are included; traveller reports mention a Greek port tax of about €5.
Timetables, prices and entry rules change; check the official source before you travel.
