How do I get to town after getting off the ferry in Kish?
Updated:
Where is the terminal?
OpenStreetMap has a node tagged as the vehicle entry and exit pier at 26.56257, 54.012621, about 2078 m from the town centre (secondary, retrieved 2026-10-13). We found no source for the exact location of the passenger hall and do not guess. A secondary source quoting port advisories says ticket kiosks exist at the passenger terminals in Kish, Charak and Aftab.
Arriving with a car
Per the official portal, the island entry toll is paid at the origin port gate, otherwise it is collected at the Kish port gate on return. Fines linked to Kish and overstay charges are collected at the Kish port gate on exit, and a plate mismatch at booking means tolls are charged again.
Arriving without a car: taxis
A secondary source (1404) says white phone taxis, yellow line taxis, minibuses and ride-hailing (Snapp, Tapsi) operate on Kish. The phone-taxi base fare for island routes was 60,000 toman, plus 20 percent from midnight to 6 am. The yellow line taxi from Bazar Marjan to the port terminal and hospital was listed at 30,500 toman. These are 1404 figures; ask the fare before boarding. Private cars may not carry fares, and mainland-plated cars cannot work on the ride apps.
Steps
- With a car: finish formalities and tolls at the port gate.
- Without a car: take a phone taxi or ride app and ask the fare.
- Staying several days: look at the AzKish cars page and rent through Kish Rent Car.
