HI all
Sorry for the initial waffle but the question will make more sense with it.
Following an initial trip to Rhodes in 2008 we are going again in June to coincide with an open air rock festival that happens every year. Doing an initial trek around the websites we realised that going for 2 weeks is not much more expensive than going for one week so 2 weeks was our choice. I then spotted that there was a car ferry from Marmaris to Rhodes so the idea of a week in Turkey then a week in Rhodes (or vice versa) was born.
So the questions are
1) has anyone used the car ferry and have they any comments
2) are there any issues hiring a car in Turkey and taking it across to Rhodes for a week or would hiring a car in Turkey and a seperate car in Rhodes be a better idea?
3) we have been advised to avoid central Marmaris as a holiday destination but that there are some nice suburbs. So suggestions for locations and hotels would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for any advice
Dave
2) are there any issues hiring a car in Turkey and taking it across to Rhodes for a week or would hiring a car in Turkey and a seperate car in Rhodes be a better idea?, Hire the vehicle in Turkey as this will save you money as if you do find a way over that does take cars then you will be hit with Insurance and taxes to use it in Turkey.
3) we have been advised to avoid central Marmaris as a holiday destination but that there are some nice suburbs. So suggestions for locations and hotels would be greatly appreciated.
Try Icmeler as it's only 8km away from Marmaris, Hotels for me are a minus point of Turkey and just because Tour operators say 3,4,5,star doesent mean they actually are.
I was basing my info on a ferries website that suggested there was a morning car ferry Marmaris to Rhodes - returning Rhodes to Marmaris in the afternoon.

I would hire seperate cars, with the disagreement between Greece and Turkey it may not be left in one piece if you took the car between countries.
I would definately recommend Icmeler if you do come over.
