We visited Turkey after one week in Greece. We arrived by ferry from Samos. We started that day in Mikonos, and planned to go from Mikonos to Samos to Turkey. Getting information on the trip was nearly impossible from Greece – relations aren’t terribly good. The 6am ferry arrived at 9:30am in Mikonos – it certainly didn’t bode well for the rest of the journey. By the time we hit Samos we were 4.5 hours late for the ferry to Turkey which, fortunately, was waiting for us. After going through customs in Samos (complete and utter chaos), we packed into the ferry and headed to Turkey. Upon our arrival, we had to buy a very expensive visa ($60) (for Canadians – Americans don’t need a visa), and we finally entered the country.

Hey there,
Thanks for posting about a ferry from Greece to Turkey. It sounds like it was a pain, but was it worth it? I gather it might be cheaper than a flight?
I’m looking to be in Greece for the marathon and then wanting to spend some time in Turkey and trying to plan.
Any help and suggestions you can provide would be much appreciated!
