Transport for Ayvalık, Turkey

Last Updated on May 7, 2019

Ferries run daily in summer between Ayvalık and the Greek island of Lesvos (Mytileni), less frequently at other times of year; but the fare is extraordinarily high that most people choose to use other Greek-Turkish ferries, such as from Çeşme to Chios, Kuşadası to Samos, Bodrum to Kos, or Marmaris to Rhodes.
