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.

Anek Lines
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.

Greek 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.

Miniotis Lines
Ferries between Chios (Gr) and Çesme (Tk), and Lesvos (Gr) and Ayvalik (Tk)

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