Istanbul-Izmir Car Ferry, Turkey

Deniz Cruise & Ferry Lines ("Denizline") operated the car ferries m/v Samsun and m/v Ankara on overnight voyages between Istanbul's Sarayburnu (Seraglio Point) dock and Izmir's Alsancak dock, or the dock at Çesme, west of Izmir, but the car ferry no longer stops at Izmir or Çesme.

The Denizline ferries now cruise between Istanbul and Bodrum. More...

So far as I know, there are currently no ferries between Istanbul and Izmir. The way to make this journey is by ferry and train (Istanbul-Bandirma-Izmir), by bus or by airplane.
