There are 100% excursions, prices this season, until someone comes from there, you don’t know, they can rise in price. In general, Istanbul is far and expensive, but if the goal is to see the sights, it's probably worth it. Rhodes is also full of excursions and from Marmaris they are not very expensive. Rhodes in good weather from Marmaris can be seen with the naked eye, ten minutes by boat. Two years ago, I needed a visa, or a passport with a Schengen visa, now maybe something has changed, but I doubt it.

Istanbul is worth a visit, a city that combines East and Europe. There are many attractions, for example, you can visit the Blue Mosque, Vialand Istanbul - Istanbul Disneyland, Basilica Cistern, Aquarium "Istanbul Akvaryum" - a wonderful trip to the underwater world

Ann28 I agree, there is something to see in Istanbul, so it is best to visit it separately.))) To go there from Marmaris is to lose a couple of days of paid rest, plus an exhausting road. And in the end, there will be very little time left for the tour, everything is run-run.

I won’t lie about Rhodes, I didn’t go myself, but earlier the organizers of the excursions themselves issued some kind of temporary visa, and it cost from $ 80 to $ 120.

This is a medal from two sides, like to Israel from Egypt for 1 day or a bus tour of countries, even if you take 3-4 countries, then upon arrival home you will forget where, what you saw) On the other hand, people go, get exhausted, because there is no the opportunity to visit a place, city, country, attraction separately. There is already no advice, purely individually, as a person decides for himself. Europe by bus.

Istanbul is a separate topic, where in two days, running at a gallop, you can see a tenth of it. You can visit Istanbul from Marmaris (Dalaman Airport), other modes of transport are not suitable - for a long time, more than 700 km. An excursion to Rhodes can be taken without problems (ferry, transfer, temporary visa) - about 150 usd. I advise you to visit Ephesus, Pamukkale, Dalyan.

Since 2012, Greece has introduced a simplified stay regime in Rhodes for citizens of Russia, Turkey, Belarus and Ukraine, provided that they arrive on vacation from Turkey.
A simplified visa regime is valid for 5 Greek islands: Rhodes, Kos, Symi (Samos), Chios and Lesvos.
If you are going to visit Rhodes while on vacation in Marmaris, you should contact one of the agencies to complete all the necessary documents.
The simplified visa regime implies that a tourist arriving from Turkey to these islands does not need a Schengen visa, and all necessary documents can be processed directly in Marmaris without contacting the Greek consulate.
If you are a holder of a Schengen multi-visa, you can visit Rhodes just by buying a ferry ticket.

Documents for the "simplified Greek visa"
To apply for a Greek visa, the following documents are required:
- a photocopy of the passport photo pages;
– ticket for the ferry Marmaris – Rhodes – Marmaris;
— 2 passport size photographs (not older than 6 months on a white background);
– application for a Greek visa;
– confirmed hotel reservation (if you are going for a multi-day stay in Rhodes);
– photocopy of bank statement (required by Yeşil Marmaris).
Children need a separate passport to enter Rhodes.

In short, half a rest (or even the whole))) you run through Turkish bureaucrats, photo studios and banks for all sorts of papers and extracts and wellcome to Rhodes. If you are not a fan of Greek ruins (which are practically no different from Turkish ones), then it’s not worth the candle ;)

Were in 2015 in Marmaris, going to Rhodes, but changed their minds. It all cost 200 dollars per person, a visa was needed. They changed their minds because they caught a group that had just arrived from there. They were furious. They were held at customs for several hours, they almost did not have time to go sightseeing. The guide dragged them to the embankment, gave them a couple of hours to walk, quickly told about the sights and disappeared. All. After them, another group complained about the same thing.

turky32, how right you are! Seeing Greeks for $200 and coming back with a headache is a thrill. As mentioned above, there are exactly such ruins in Turkey. I never ventured to go there, in Dikili I was already standing 20 meters from the ferry to Mytilene (Lesvos), but my inner voice forbade ...

Istanbul, like Israel. you won’t cover it in 1 day. As a result, you get an exhausting excursion "marked in Istanbul"
