There are frequent
ferries in summer between Turkey
and the Greek islands of Lesvos (Mytileni), Chios, Samos, Kos and Rhodes. Click
here for details.
There are no direct ferries
between Athens and Turkey (including Istanbul).
You must travel to one of the islands
near the Turkish coast, then transfer
to a Greek
island—Turkish coast
ferry.
But how do you get to those Greek
islands from other points in Greece?
Or how do you get from Turkey to other
Greek islands (such as Mykonos, Paros, Santorini, Crete, etc.), Athens (Piraeus)
and Thessaloniki?
Although I lived for a summer in Lindos on
Rhodes many years ago, I don't stay
up-to-date on Greek islands ferries—I'm
a Turkey expert, not a Greece expert.
So you should ask the experts at Anker
Travel. They can help
with schedules, fares and reservations
for ferries between Greece
and Turkey,
within Greece itself,
and between Italy,
Greece and Turkey. They can
also reserve your place on tours and
cruises, and make hotel, rental car
and flight reservations for your travels
in Greece.
If you want to spend some time looking
yourself, here are some links to Greek
Islands ferries websites that
may help you to plan your itinerary
among the islands. I looked at many
other sites, but they were the typical overdesigned,
hyperactive sites that make
it difficult if not impossible to get
the info you want. They drive me nuts!
That's one of the reasons I like Anker
Travel.
A
Ferry To
Covers all European ferry routes, and some in Greece:
Thessaloniki, Skiathos, Tinos, Syros, Mykonos, Naxos,
Paros, Santorini, Heraklion. Easy-to-use site.

Useful site covering routes to Piraeus (Athens) and
Crete, Rhodes, Psara, Lesvos (Mytileni); Ios Kassos,
Karpathos; Thessaloniki and Kavala; and also the
western shores of Greece: Corfu, Igoumenitsa, Patras;
and Ancona and Trieste in Italy. See their Destination
Map.

Travel Pages
This site has a ferry
routes form into which you can put your desired
departure and arrival ports/islands. Like much of
the search technology on websites, it often gives
you only a "No Routes Found" message. Helpful!
That's why TurkeyTravelPlanner.com uses
a Site Index instead
of a search box.

Lots of info, rather poorly organized and presented,
but useful nonetheless.
