Besides the fast
ferries to Yalova from Istanbul's
Yenikapi Feribot Terminali,
there is also a shorter,
faster car-and-passenger ferry service
from Istanbul's Asian suburb of Pendik to Yalova.
The voyage takes only 45 minutes.
Departures from
both Pendik and Yalova are at:
07:00 am
08:15 am
09:30 am
10:45 am
12:00 noon
14:00 (2 pm)
15:15 (3:15 pm)
16:30 (4:30 pm)
17:45 (5:45 pm)
19:00 (7 pm)
20:15 (8:15 pm)
21:30 (9:30 pm)
22:45 (10:45 pm) (Friday and Sunday only; 30 November
to 23 March, does not operate at all)
Fares are YTL5
for walk-on passengers, YTL4
for students and teachers with official
Turkish identification, YTL13
for a motorcycle, YTL40
for a car and driver, YTL50
for an SUV (Jip) and driver, YTL4
per passenger in a car. Each passenger
has a reserved seat on the vessel.
This would be your better choice if
you find yourself on the Asian side
of the Bosphorus.
You can get to Pendik by suburban
train from Haydarpasa
Station. Here's
the train schedule (pdf).
These ferries are operated
by IDO (Istanbul
Deniz Otobüsleri A S) whose website has
an English-language section. You may
not need reservations for passenger
travel, but you should probably reserve
space if you plan to transport a car.
IDO says you can call this number at
any time to make a reservation and
to purchase a ticket with a credit
card: +90 212 444 3 436.
IDO General Directorate
Kennedy Caddesi, Yenikapi Feribot Iskelesi
Eminönü, Istanbul, Turkey
Tel +90 212 517 9696
Fax +90 212 517 3800
These lines are supposedly answered
24 hours a day. You can probably send
a fax in English or German and
get a response in the same language.
