Mavi Transfer launches a direct catamaran service from Datça, Turkey to the Greek island of Symi (Simi) on 1 June 2026. This 45-minute crossing replaces the previous 4-hour route via Bodrum and Rhodes, making Symi day-trips finally practical from the Datça peninsula.
Early-bird discount: Book 30+ days ahead → 15% off. Group bookings (10+) get €10/person discount.
Symi is part of Greece and within the Schengen Area. Turkish citizens require a valid Schengen visa to enter Symi. Symi is NOT included in the 10-island door-visa program — you cannot obtain an on-arrival visa for Symi. Apply for your Schengen visa at least 4–6 weeks before travel via VFS Global Greece.
Citizens of EU/EEA, UK, USA, Canada, Australia, and most other countries do not require a visa for short stays.
