Title: Kas to Meis Island.
Post by: LancashireLass on June 16, 2014, 09:41:31 AM: Hi. Please can anyone advise us, tomorrow we have decided to take the ferry from Kas and visit the Greek Island of Meis. I was wondering if anyone can advise me as to where I find the ferry timetable, how much it is, will we need Euros and I'm presuming passports will be needed.

Thank you

It's a lovely day out and the little bay is really pretty, it's also nice to walk up to the castle.
Yes you will need euro's and some of the Kalkan ATM's offer them there is also an ATM in Meis.

Enjoy

Meis is a lovely day out, would thoroughly recommend it and I understand some shops take Turkish Lira these days too

Post by: DRBD on June 18, 2014, 01:08:49 PM: Yes it is possible, there is a hotel on the island overlooking the harbour, we have also see 'rooms to let' also there is a travel agent who would possibly be able to help, Contact Meis Express office for information on 0242 836 1725 or via web site www.meisexpress.com.
Title: Re: Kas to Meis Island - duty-free
Post by: Cosetta on September 03, 2014, 12:37:23 PM: What is the price of malt whisky, champagne, cointreau and wine in the duty-free shop in Meis? Trying to decide if it is worth the TL 75 x 2 people to go just for this purpose or not. I think maybe the cost of the trip will equal the cost of buying these in Kalkan.

Anyone know?? Many thanks!

Post by: cptergun on September 04, 2014, 09:38:20 PM: You can't get many bottles. You can buy only 2 bottles each and it doesn'T really worth to go all the way from Kalkan to Meis to buy drink.

Post by: kalkankiki on September 05, 2014, 01:08:19 PM: Cointreau was around 20 Euros, Gordons 11 Euros, both 1 litre.

It probably does even out in cost, however you get the bonus of a lovely day out in one of the prettiest places I know.
