Getting to Kastellorizo (also known as Meis in Turkish) from Kas is a delightful mini-adventure that connects Turkey's stunning Turquoise Coast with one of Greece's most remote and charming islands. Located less than 2 nautical miles apart, these two destinations are so close that you can see Kastellorizo's colorful harbourfront from Kas town.
The short ferry ride offers travelers a unique opportunity to experience Greek island life while based on the Turkish coast, making it a popular choice for day-trippers and island-hoppers alike.
The journey from Kas to Kastellorizo is made exclusively by passenger ferry, with daily services operating throughout most of the year, though schedules are more frequent during the summer tourist season (April to October).
The ferry crossing takes just 20-30 minutes, making it one of the shortest international sea crossings in the Mediterranean.
To travel, you'll need to book tickets with the ferry companies operating the route — Meis Ferry Lines and Meis Express are the operator — and you must have a valid passport as this is an international journey between Turkey and Greece.
It's recommended to book your ferry tickets at least a day in advance, especially in peak season, and you should arrive at Kas harbor approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour before departure to allow time for passport control and customs procedures.
The ferries depart from Kas's main harbor in the town center and arrive directly at Kastellorizo's picturesque port, where you'll be greeted by the island's iconic neoclassical buildings.
Day-trip tickets are the most common option, typically allowing you to spend 4-6 hours exploring the island before returning to Kas the same day, though overnight stays are also possible if you want more time to experience this tiny Greek gem. Note that vehicles cannot be transported on this route—it's foot passengers only.
