Do you want to apply for a short-stay Schengen visa or an island visa that is available in a certain period of time for 5-7 Greek islands?

elmira200881 your first tour to Turkey must be purchased from TO, when you travel to Turkey on your own, only Schengen
On the very first day of your arrival in Marmaris, and even immediately on the transfer from the airport, tell the guide that you want to go to Rhodes and you need an island visa and ask for the telephone number of the TO representative who will be in your hotel, a visa can be done from 3-5 workers! days.
Make copies in advance, if you are together then 2 copies each, of your passports, hotel vouchers, insurance and air ticket printouts, 3 * 4 photos (it must be clarified, their size is not the same as for Schengen), also 2 pieces
Arrange the next meeting with a guide at your hotel and ask him to immediately bring you a visa application form. They filled out, gave documents and money, the visa itself costs about 40-45 euros, plus ferry tickets 70 euros, in the season when many ferries can be bought and tickets 50 euros

Do not buy tours to Rhodes from the street agencies of Marmaris, because you can sit in the border zone of Rhodes for 6 hours waiting for the nearest ferry to Marmaris
If you plan to buy ferry tickets not for one day return, but for returning the next day, attach a bank statement to your hotel booking.

If the hotel is for example Helena Hotel 2 * and Parthenon Hotel 2 *, in the Elli Beach area, all the famous sights of Rhodes and the port itself are within walking distance, about 20 minutes on foot

Vika, can I get such a visa right here in Russia through the consulate myself? if, for example, I book a hotel through booking, since by this time the tour will have been bought from me for Marmaris itself and the dates are known. I'm planning to apply for a visa for the first time, I don't know anything ((

Through the consulate you can get a tourist Schengen visa, the consulate and the embassy of Greece do not do island visas.
The island visa itself is pasted into your passport by the Greek border services upon arrival on one of the islands, you leave Turkey by ferry without a visa pasted into your passport, all your documents with permission that you previously submitted are with the captain of the ferry, he already transfers them to the border services .
If you decide to apply for a Schengen visa, call and consult any consulate or embassy of Greece in Russia whether they will issue a Schengen visa if you stay in Rhodes for 1-2 days and book your hotel for 1 night.

elmira200881, in 2013, during a trip to Cesme, I was interested in a short-term Greek visa. And I came to the conclusion that with the same consular fee, the list of documents from the applicant and the terms for issuing a visa, it is easier to apply at home for a regular Greek Schengen. Attach Rhodes hotel reservations, tickets to Marmaris and a cover letter describing logistics.
But there will be a normal Schengen (Greeks usually generously give in terms) for six months, and not for a week, and only the islands.

In the previous question, you wrote that you are planning a 7-night holiday, if you really want to go to Rhodes, try to fly to Marmaris on Monday or Tuesday, respectively, book a tour to Rhodes (but only for one day in the morning to Rhodes and the same day in the evening back to Marmaris) Sunday or Monday
If you have planned a vacation on June 1-8, you should refuse to visit Rhodes, due to the end of Ramadan and the beginning of Bayram, you may not have time to get a visa

From experience, those tourists who arrive in Kusadasi, Bodrum, Marmaris, Fethiye on Monday and Tuesday and immediately on the same day book a tour to the island for the next Sunday or Monday, then travel agencies manage to make an island visa for them 3-4 working days, if it is Wednesday Thursday delayed by 5 working days
Embassies and consulates of Greece are very loyal to Russian tourists, maybe it will be easier with Schengen. But under the same conditions in our country, even before the introduction of biometrics, when submitting documents where booking a hotel for 1 night aroused great suspicion, and in case of refusal of the Schengen visa, you will not receive an island visa.

If your stay in the main hotel in Marmaris is no more than 10 nights, there is no point in going to Rhodes. A one-day excursion will not give a proper introduction, and an overnight stay and departure to Marmaris the next day will take away two full days of the main vacation. Expensive event.

Long time excursions: the most popular in Pamukkale, Ephesus + one of the 7 wonders of the world Temple of Artemis in Ephesus + the house of the Virgin Mary, and also one of the popular Demre Mira Kekova - they recently began to sell this excursion from this region, so it is mainly popular on Antalya coast
1 day air excursions: Istanbul, Israel and Northern Cyprus

In general, I fully support lazy_person - it makes no sense to rush about for 1-2 days to Rhodes. And even more so, I do not recommend going to Istanbul, Israel and Northern Cyprus for 1 day - these destinations are worth a separate vacation each.

We are all often chasing excursions, meanwhile, without having studied the sights of the place where we are relaxing. Marmaris is a wonderful place. You can walk in it for hours. Walk along the promenade to Icmeler, take a walk and enjoy the views of the bay. Go to the ice skating rink by the sea, to the dolphinarium ... swim on the wild beach. Many have a rest in Marmaris, not knowing that there is Icmeler nearby. The nature is the same as in Rhodes, even better. Take an inexpensive excursion to the islands of the Aegean Sea. The whole day at the sea, in nature in the most picturesque places ... a lot of impressions

"Sentido Sia Star" (letter "and"). Yes I know. Near the hotel "QUADAS HOTEL 4 *" (formerly "Fantasy"). The place is wonderful. Just in this place, the angle of the view of the "open sea". Everywhere the sea is not visible (the bay). A little further, towards Marmaris, there is a wonderful beach "Nirvana Beach". "..Sia Star.." probably the same price as Sentido Orca Lotus Beach. why didn't you choose this one? There the place is even better, and the beach is better and the sea is more beautiful ...
Children will be everywhere.

but I think until Monday, on Monday you have to make an advance payment. The price is 10-15 thousand cheaper. Elite World Marmaris Hotel is also offered to us, but the reviews are also twofold

In Rhodes for one day, from personal experience, if you allocate time correctly, then enough is enough to see all the most important sights and relax on the beach and the same boat trip to the Aegean Islands
Rhodes and Marmaris are two different cities, Marmaris and Icmeler are beautiful in their own way and Rhodes is beautiful and interesting in its own way with its centuries-old history, one of the 7 wonders of the world, the Colossus of Rhodes, was located on Rhodes

If you are in Cappadocia, then you need to choose a hotel in Antalya, Belek, Kemer for 10-12 days, because such an excursion is for 2-3 days.
