What might be the cheapest ferry connection from near Athens to anywhere in Turkey?
Soon I'm heading from Albania to Turkey to Georgia.
The obvious way is to go through Thessaloniki which is a great city and I'd like to go back.
But I'm considering an alternative plan of going via Athens instead. Now I don't like backtracking and I like being in new places and I like places with not many tourists and I like ferries. So I'm seeking a ferry option specifically.
Time is only a minor factor but budget is my biggest factor, both because I'm conserving my money but also because I enjoy the extra adventures travelling cheap always seems to provide.
So I really don't care where in Turkey I arrive. But Athens is a goal which probably means Piraeus as departure point. Departure date is early to mid October 2011 - soon!
So from Athens/Piraeus/vicinity to anywhere in Turkey by sea, what ferry options are the best bargains?
Best Answer
There is a ferry between Piraeus and Samos at about 50€, then another ferry between Samos and Ku?adas? at about 35€.
