Tilos Travel Reviews 

The travel from rhodes to fethiye was only 5 minutes late but the journey stated it was supposed to be 1 hour 25 minutes which the journey took 2 hours and 15 minutes. This is a joke if you have a plane to catch from dalaman airport make sure you have enough time. Otherwise you will miss your flight. They should not state a trip that takes over 2 hours only 1 hour and 25 minutes on there website which is not true. Also when you board they say take your luggage to the front of the ferry where there is no area for luggage, they just want you to go to the front of the ferry as there is no designated area for luggage. The trip from fethiye to rhodes was much better travelling with ido.

İ guess they dont care about the reviews. With this much bad review they still
Manage to extend a 90 min journey to 150min. Poor service. Use ido instead, they already moored.

Our ferry was scheduled to depart at 11:30, but it’s now 12:00 and we’re still waiting with no departure in sight. There are no seats available, so everyone is standing with their backpacks, waiting for updates.

The worst part is the complete lack of communication. There are no announcements whatsoever. The only way to find out what’s happening is to keep asking the duty-free staff, because no one else provides any information.

To make matters worse, there aren’t even any toilets at Kos Port. The whole experience has been exhausting, frustrating, and completely disorganized. This has been one of the worst travel experiences I’ve had.

I have twice booked with Tilos travel and had bad experiences both times. The first time I bought tickets online for the ferry from Kuşadası to Pythagoria, Samos. When I arrived in Phythagoria for the return trip I was told there was no ferry. I would need to take a taxi to the other side of the island and hope to be on time for the ferry or buy tickets with another company. Tilos travel never contacted me with this information despite having my telephone number and email address

The second time I booked with Tilos was for the ferry from Fethiye to Rhodes. Because we were travelling in the off season someone from our group called and asked about the ferry schedule two days before departure . We booked the tickets and packed our bags. The following day (the day before departure) someone did call me to say that our return ferry had been cancelled. She didn’t speak any English. So it’s a good thing that my Turkish was sufficient to understand. But she called at 17:45 and told me that my friends and I had until 18:00 to decide what we were going to do and get back to her

We decided to just go for the day. The washrooms on the Sea Star ferry were disgusting. There was no toilet paper, the paper towels were soaking wet, the floor was wet, the toilets would not flush so you can use your imagination. There was no one at the cafe the first two times we went. They had no credit card machine and no change for those paying cash 🤷‍♀️

The ferry was 40 minutes late with no explanation. The most expensive option available, yet it doesn’t even offer comfort. Absolutely not recommended.

Terrible experience. They cancelled the Bodrum-Kos trip and made us wait 1 hour and 30 minutes to transfer by bus to the other side of the port to depart with another company. Before arriving at the port, they took all passengers' passports to issue tickets. They issued tickets only for Turkish passengers, showing no respect for anyone else, and let them leave on the first available ferry, causing about thirty tourists, including us, to miss the trip. We had to retrieve our passports, which they were holding in a separate office, and book on our own. Shameful. Avoid traveling with them if you can.

We booked return ferries from Kusadasi to Samos in June 25. On the first leg they notified us during the night that departure had moved from 10.30am to 8.00 with tickets needing to be collected by 7am. Luckily we saw the e mail at 6am so could dash to collect it.
The return voyage however was a complete joke. The ferry was running then not, time and again. We arrived at the port only to find cancelled once again in the end we took another ferry company for the return. Avoid Tilos Travel and their ship Samos Star like the plague. They are as bad as its possible to be, communication is awful despite our e mails and calls and so is reliability.
