In Bodrum, Muğla province, the Bodrum-Datça and Bodrum-Kos ferry services, scheduled for the day specified in the announcement, have been mutually canceled due to adverse weather conditions. Heavy rainfall and strong winds reaching 35 kilometers per hour impacting the region have negatively affected sea transport, leading to the decision that services cannot be operated safely.
This cancellation decision particularly affects passengers planning to travel from Bodrum Pier to Datça or to Greece's Kos Island. These services, operated by Bodrum Ferryboat, have been temporarily suspended due to adverse weather in the region.
Canceled Services and Affected Routes
Following a thunderstorm and heavy rainfall warning issued by the 4th Regional Directorate of Meteorology for Muğla and its surroundings, intermittent regional downpours and strong winds have been effective in Bodrum since the morning hours. This situation has led to the cancellation of the following mutual services:
- Bodrum - Datça Ferry Services: These domestic services, providing access to Datça Pier, could not be operated due to weather conditions.
- Bodrum - Kos Ferry Services: The international ferry services Bodrum - Kos and Kos - Bodrum, an important connection point between Turkey and Greece, have also been canceled.
Important Information and Actions for Passengers
To prevent inconvenience for passengers whose travel plans have been canceled, the following steps are recommended:
- Check for Updates: Before your journey, always check Bodrum Ferryboat's official website or social media accounts.
- Contact the Operator: Contact the ferry operator directly for information regarding ticket refunds, changes, or future services.
- Alternative Transport: If possible, consider road or other sea transport alternatives. However, be aware that general weather conditions may also affect other transport options in the region.
Given that safety is always a priority in sea transport, such cancellations are made to ensure the safety of passengers and property. Services are expected to return to normal once weather conditions improve.
