Fast Australian-built catamaran
car ferries speed
between Istanbul's Yenikapı
Feribot Terminalı and the towns
of Yalova,
Bursa
(Güzelyalı) and Bandırma on
the south shore of the Sea
of Marmara,
connecting Istanbul with
towns in the Aegean
region.
There are more frequent departures
in summer than in winter. You need
not have a car to ride these ferries.
Walk-on passengers are welcome.
Fares are priced
dynamically, like airfares, meaning
that fares purchased in advance, or
for less popular sailings, may be lower,
and those purchased at the last minute,
or for popular departures (such as
on weekends and holidays), may be higher.

Ferries depart both Istanbul (Yenikapı)
and Yalova three
or more times daily. The voyage takes
80 minutes. More...
Car-and-passenger feribots connect Güzelyalı,
near Bursa,
with Istanbul's Yenikapı
Feribot Terminalı, departing at least two times
daily, making the voyage in 90 minutes. More...
Ferries depart two or three times
daily on the 2-hour voyage to Bandırma,
depending on the season and the day
of the week. More...
There is also a shorter, faster passengers-only
ferry service
(no cars) from Istanbul's
Asian suburb of Pendik to
Yalova. (You can get to Pendik by suburban
train from Haydarpaşa
Station. Here's
the train schedule (pdf).) Pendik-to-Yalova would
be your better choice if you find yourself
on the
Asian side of the Bosphorus.
The voyage takes only 40 minutes. More...
Conventional car ferries cross the Dardanelles between Gelibolu and Lapseki,
and Eceabat and Çanakkale,
frequently all day, and through the night. They can
take any sort of vehicle up to and including 18-wheel
tractor-trailer juggernauts. More...
All of these ferries are operated
by İDO (Istanbul
Deniz Otobüsleri A Ş) whose website has
an English-language
version.
