From Kas: Meis Island Day Trip By Fast Ferry
Experience a unique cultural escape with the Kaş-Meis Island Tour! Just a short ferry ride away, this charming Greek island offers stunning views, colorful architecture, and a taste of history. Perfect for a day of exploration and relaxation!
Overview
Meis, or by its full Greek name Kastellorizo, is a small island located just 30 minutes by boat from Kaş. If you're looking to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life, a quick boat trip will transport you to the exquisite peace and serenity of this Mediterranean gem. It’s the perfect destination to relax, unwind, and let your worries drift away. Spend your day visiting the Blue Cave, one of the area’s most incredible natural wonders, take a leisurely hike up the mountain to explore the island’s castle, or simply relax in the village and savor some of Greece’s freshest local dishes.
Interestingly, Meis translates to “biggest,” which is ironic given that it’s a tiny island. In fact, there’s only one bus and one taxi on the entire island! To visit, you can book your Meis Island Ferry Ticket online. The ferry departs daily at 10 AM and returns at 4 PM. During the short 30-minute journey, enjoy stunning views of the coastline and maybe even soak up some sun.
Upon arrival, you'll be captivated by the colorful boats lining the harbor and the pastel-colored houses and buildings for which the island is famous. It’s a photographer’s paradise, with every view resembling a scene straight out of a postcard. The town itself exudes a laid-back, relaxed charm. Stroll through the narrow streets, immerse yourself in the slow-paced island life, or relax at a local taverna while enjoying fresh seafood.
A popular activity for visitors is a boat trip to the Blue Cave, a breathtaking natural formation. To enter, the boat must proceed slowly, and passengers may need to lie flat to fit through the narrow opening. Once inside, the cave opens up into a magnificent chamber illuminated by the pristine blue waters—a truly unforgettable sight.
Before your return trip, take a short walk up to the local castle to admire the stunning views of the surrounding sea. The ferry back to Kas departs at 4 PM, with another scenic 30-minute journey to end your day.

We absolutely loved our day trip to Meis! The ferry ride was smooth, and the island itself is so peaceful. We had a lovely seafood lunch by the harbor and walked up to the castle for incredible views. A perfect break from the busier spots.

As someone traveling solo, Meis was the perfect place to slow down. I wandered the charming streets, visited the Blue Cave, and had a relaxed meal by the sea. Super easy to book and a smooth trip all around.

We really enjoyed the trip to Meis, especially the Blue Cave—it was stunning. Only small downside was a bit of waiting time for the cave boat once we got to the island, but overall still a great experience.

The island was beautiful and super relaxing. I just wish there were a bit more information shared on the ferry or upon arrival—it would’ve helped us plan our day better. Still, it was a lovely outing.

Our family had a peaceful day in Meis. The views were great and the water was perfect for swimming. The only reason I’m not giving five stars is because the food options near the port were a bit limited for picky eaters.
