Advice sought please. I would like to take a privately owned, British flagged boat from her base in Kos over to the Turkish coast for three weeks cruise and then return to Kos. I contacted the marina in Bodrum for advice and they put me in touch with an agent who gave me an eye-watering quote for clearing-in etc. In total with a one night stay in Bodrum they quoted the following:- Custom Clearance: 160.00 €; Custom Check Out: 90.00 €; Milta Marina Mooring per day: 102.00 €; Agency Service Fee: 100.00 €
Surely there is a cheaper way to get this done e.g. DIY, perhaps at another, smaller port of entry (Datcha maybe?). Is this feasible, is use of an agent mandatory? How difficult is it to do it yourself? What are the real costs? Can anyone offer some knowledgeable guidance.
Also a related question, is clearing out, and back in, from and to Kos slow and onerous?
