What to expect

Just across the water from Turkey is the Greek island of Kos. Known for its beautiful sandy beaches and classical antiquities, a catamaran ride will take you to its capital, Kos town where you'll have the day to explore on your own.Prepare to be charmed by the town, where ancient and modern sit side by side. Dip into the shops and boutiques in the streets behind the harbour or sip coffees in the square, admiring the huge plane tree – it's said that Hippocrates held lessons under it 2,400 years ago. And admire the sea views from the battlements of the 15th century Knights fortress. History lovers will also want to see nearby Asklepieion. One of Greece's most important classical sites, its marble temples mark where the world's first hospital once stood.Or if you fancy some R&R, take your pick of the town's beaches. It shores are laced with sandy sweeps perfect for getting in some sunbathing and swimming before your catamaran ride back. And remember, you'll need to cross the borders — sometimes with lengthy security and passport checks — between Turkey and Greece in this tour, so valid passport or photo ID is needed.

We were picked up by a minibus, no Tui staff or any help by Tui. The driver did not speak English, and dropped us at the ferry port. He did not say he would meet us anywhere, so more by luck we found him. The port at Kos was chaos, very badly organised, and not much information given. I do not know what we paid Tui for as the had no involvement on the day with the trip.

Ferry system was a shambles. We were waiting in the heat for hours. Ferry didn’t arrive or leave on time either

It was literally a taxi service to the port. Once at the port left to your own devices. No information regarding return pickup

Apart from the ticket itself tui had no involvement. A mini van picked us up but the driver spoke no english so no one knew what time we had to be back. Passport control was horrible. We were all treated like animals and it took about 7 hours in total to get through both sides. Tui should have more pull

The transfer is an old bus with no air conditioning which in times like these isnt ideal due to the spread of droplet diseases. You get to customs stupidly early and have to wait for almost an hour and half before leaving. There is no TUI rep telling you information about times back or ideas of what to do in Kos. Apart from this the trip was good, Kos is beautiful. For food visit kyriakos and for drinks Papas is amazing.

Only English travellers that trip, no signage in English to follow. The guide and ques moved so fast had to trust to luck. Lack of general information from Tui on trip details, no reminders on carrying Euros

Pick up was easy, on time and he waited for missing passengers. Dropped off for the boat across earlier then necessary but was organised from bodrum. Only part which was a mess was getting on and off at kos but that was not organised by the excursion. When we arrived back into bodrum we were told the coach number. Very well organised from the excursion pov

Going to a Greek island is always great however coming from Turkey it should be made clear that hiring a car is a must as otherwise not the greatest of experience. I would also liked the bus that transported us to the hotel/port had vice vesa should come right up to the hotel doors rather than the security gate, the bus was also late by 15 minutes. The boat taking us to Kos are did not take card and only took cash, which was annoying otherwise a pleasant ride.

Visiting Kos was lovely however TUI did not do a lot - they simply arranged for transport from the hotel and arranged the payments. We still had to queue to get our physical tickets. Would recommend booking through TUI if you don’t want to arrange yourself, otherwise I would suggest arranging yourself as it’s cheaper.

Weather was the most enjoyable. The 24hr bar being moved after 2 days to the outside bar furthest from the lobby was my worst experience of the holiday. This was not mentioned until it happened when the announcement went out the bar was closing at 11pm.

was a great day out, quite well organised getting on and off the boat. was slightly worried about the transfer there as there was no warning it would be late. also very confusing of what bus to get back into after arriving back in bodrum - no number or hotel listed to link you to the coach. overall a lovely trip
