Ferryboats Turkey - Greece - Italy

 

Fast ferries speed between Istanbul's Yenikapı Feribot Terminalı and Bandırma on the south shore of the Sea of Marmara (map), connecting Istanbul with towns in the southern Marmara and northern Aegean region (map). You can take buses from Bandirma to anywhere in Aegean Turkey, and a fast train to İzmir.

The large, fast Istanbul-Bandırma catamaran car ferries (hızlı feribot) carry both cars and passengers. The voyage takes about two hours. Voyages marked "DO" are via Deniz Otobüsü, a fast catamaran "Seabus" passenger ferry that does not carry cars.

These ferries connect at Bandırma with train to/from İzmir, allowing you to travel between Istanbul and Izmir comfortably and economically in 8 hours by ferry and train. More...

Fares are in several classes and 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), or which are refundable, may be higher.

These ferries are operated by IDO (Istanbul Deniz Otobüsleri A Ş). You can make reservations and buy your ferry tickets online, in English, but the procedure is fairly complicated and may not work. Here's how...
