Around sixteen ferry operators and close to 69 routes converge on the main harbour of Kos, an Aegean island of the Dodecanese sitting just 4 km off the Turkish coast at Bodrum. The port works mainly as a passenger and RoRo hub, with sailings to Piraeus, Rhodes, Kalymnos, Leros and Patmos as well as cross-border service to Bodrum in Turkey. Freight mostly arrives accompanied on RoRo ferries or as breakbulk for island supply, since Kos has no dedicated container terminal. Hinterland reach is limited to the island road network, with no rail connection. Traffic to Turkey passes an external EU border at Bodrum, where customs formalities apply. For containerised or heavier industrial cargo, Rhodes or the mainland gateway of Piraeus are the practical choices.
