Ertürk Lines sails Çeşme–Chios all year: in November 2026 its fast boat crosses most days (Çeşme 09:00, Chios 16:30) and the car ferry Apostolos S. mainly on Fridays to Sundays; in December and January Apostolos S. sails on Fridays to Sundays (to 31 January 2027), and the fast boat is listed up to 30 September 2027 (daily from 30 April) with a break from 11 January to 11 February. It also sells tickets for six other crossings. Book at erturk.com.tr, in the Ertürk app or by phone; adults pay €38–40 one way and €50 return (October 2026).

Ertürk Lines (Ertürk Turizm Deniz Nakliyat) is based in Çeşme and is the main operator on Çeşme–Chios, with the fast boat Ertürk High Speed Craft and the car ferry Ertürk-1; the car ferry Apostolos S. is also sold through Ertürk. Its website doubles as a ticket shop for other crossings – Ayvalık–Lesvos, Bodrum–Kos, Kuşadası–Samos, Kaş–Kastellorizo and Fethiye–Rhodes – where its timetables list other companies’ boats. Ertürk also holds a TÜRSAB travel agency licence and is the authorised agent for the Chios visa express.

Departure ports: Ayvalık, Bodrum, Çeşme, Fethiye, Kaş, Kuşadası.

How to book

Book online at erturk.com.tr (one way, return or open return), in the Ertürk app, through the call centre or at the office in Çeşme. Even with a QR ticket you must check in at Ertürk’s desk in the port 1.5 hours before departure; the same applies with a vehicle. Date changes are allowed, name changes are not, and Chios tickets are valid for one year from purchase. Çeşme–Chios fares as of October 2026 (Ertürk site): adult €38–40 one way, €50 return; car €90–100 one way. See our Çeşme to Chios ferry guide.

Vehicles

Yes, on Çeşme–Chios: the car ferries Ertürk-1 and Apostolos S. take cars and motorbikes. Ertürk’s fare page also lists vehicle fares for the fast boat (Erturk High Speed Craft), but its timetable marks fast-boat sailings “No Car”, so ask which sailing takes your vehicle – in the timetable checked on 28 October, Apostolos S. is scheduled on Fridays to Sundays in November 2026 (and on 3–4 and 10–11 November); on 30 October Ertürk had also added it on 4–6, 11–13, 18–20 and 26–27 December and on every Friday to Sunday in January 2027, while from February to the end of April 2027 only the fast boat is listed, so no Ertürk sailing on Çeşme–Chios takes cars then. The booking form covers cars, SUVs, minibuses, campers, small trailers and motorbikes. Ertürk requires Turkish green card insurance (arrive without it and you lose the ticket) and a notarised power of attorney for taking the car abroad if it is not yours; company cars need a signature circular or notarised authorisation, translated into English.

Bodrum–Kos: According to Ertürk (email, 25 October 2026), the Turkish Sea Lines agency’s ferry on Bodrum–Kos accepts vehicles. Ferryhopper and Direct Ferries both list Asım Kaptan as the Turkish Sea Lines vessel. In Ertürk’s timetable (checked 25 October 2026) the other boats’ sailings are marked “Araç alınmaz” (no vehicles), while the Asım Kaptan sailings carry no such note. Sources disagree on capacity: Direct Ferries lists space for 4 cars, 20 motorbikes and 1 caravan, while Ferryhopper gives a vehicle capacity of 0. We could not verify a car fare; ask Turkish Sea Lines (or Ertürk, which sells the tickets) about sailing days and fares for vehicles.

Ertürk Lines’ reply (25 October 2026, by email): Ertürk answered our questions on Çeşme–Chios and Bodrum–Kos. It helps with the visa on arrival (for Turkish passport holders only) on Çeşme–Chios only; details are on its visa page, which on 25 October 2026 still gave €80 for adults and €20 for ages 0–18, cash only, with documents due at the Çeşme office 8 days or the İzmir office 10 days before travel. According to Ertürk, a return ticket costs €50 with port tax included (email; the route was not named, but our question was about Çeşme–Chios); its fare page also gives €50 for an adult return. The port office in Çeşme opens 1 hour before departure and closes 30 minutes before, and the port has its own car park (the paid Ulusoy car park next to the port, per Ertürk’s FAQ). The FAQ still requires check-in 1.5 hours before departure on 25 October 2026, which conflicts with the office hours; we suggest arriving 1.5 hours before. On Bodrum–Kos, Ertürk said the Turkish Sea Lines agency’s ferry accepts vehicles (see above). These are Ertürk’s own statements.

Luggage and pets

Ertürk’s FAQ does not state a luggage allowance. For pets to Chios, the passenger must email the veterinary office on Chios at least two days before travel; an EU-compliant pet passport, a titer test approved in Ankara, rabies vaccination and a microchip are required.

FAQ

Does Ertürk run all the routes it sells?

No. Ertürk’s own boats sail Çeşme–Chios. On Ayvalık–Lesvos, Bodrum–Kos, Kuşadası–Samos, Kaş–Kastellorizo and Fethiye–Rhodes its timetables list vessels of other companies, so Ertürk acts as a ticket seller there.

Does the Çeşme–Chios ferry run in winter?

Yes, with fewer sailings. For November 2026 Ertürk’s timetable (checked 24 October) shows the fast boat at 09:00 from Çeşme and 16:30 from Chios, Wednesday to Sunday plus Monday 30 November, and the car ferry Apostolos S. on Fridays and Saturdays (Çeşme 09:50 and 18:00, Chios 08:00 and 16:00) and Sundays (Çeşme 18:00, Chios 16:00), plus Tuesday and Wednesday 3–4 and 10–11 November (Chios 08:00, Çeşme 18:00). In December the fast boat is listed on 4–6, 11–13, 18–20 and 25–27 December (Çeşme 09:00 only on 24 December, a 16:30 from Chios on 1 December), then 30 and 31 December, 2–3 and 8–10 January, and after a break from 11 January to 11 February on Fridays to Sundays from 12 February, daily from 5 to 14 March and on Wednesdays and Fridays to Sundays in April, then daily to 30 September 2027 (Ertürk checked 29 October 2026). Ertürk also lists the car ferry Apostolos S. on 4–6, 11–13, 18–20 and 26–27 December and on every Friday to Sunday in January 2027 (Fridays and Saturdays Chios 08:00 and 16:00, Çeşme 09:50 and 18:00; January Fridays only Chios 08:00 and Çeşme 18:00; Sundays Chios 16:00, Çeşme 18:00; checked 30 October 2026), with no car sailings after 31 January; Turyol’s Chios is listed on Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays until 3 January 2027 (Turyol checked 24 October 2026). Ertürk’s timetable was briefly unreliable on 23 October, so confirm before booking.

Can Ertürk apply for the Greek visa express for me?

Only for Chios, and only for Turkish passport holders. As of October 2026 the fee is €80 for adults and €20 under 18, paid in cash, with documents handed in at least 8 days before travel in Çeşme. Foreign tourists do not need this scheme.

How early must I be at Çeşme port?

1.5 hours before departure. Ertürk does not let you board directly with the QR ticket; you must check in at its port desk first, with or without a car.

Does Ertürk Lines take cars to Chios?

Yes, on its car ferries. In Ertürk’s timetable checked on 27 October 2026, Apostolos S. takes vehicles on Fridays and Saturdays in November (Chios 08:00 and 16:00, Çeşme 09:50 and 18:00), on Sundays (Chios 16:00, Çeşme 18:00) and on some Tuesdays and Wednesdays (Chios 08:00, Çeşme 18:00). In December and January it is listed on Fridays to Sundays (Fridays and Saturdays Chios 08:00 and 16:00, Çeşme 09:50 and 18:00; January Fridays only Chios 08:00 and Çeşme 18:00; Sundays Chios 16:00, Çeşme 18:00; checked 30 October 2026); after 31 January only the fast boat, which takes no cars, is listed. Ertürk lists car fares of €90–100 one way (October 2026).

How much is an Ertürk Lines ticket to Chios?

Adults pay €38–40 one way and €50 return on Çeşme–Chios (Ertürk fare page, October 2026). Ertürk told us by email on 25 October 2026 that the €50 return includes port tax. A car costs €90–100 one way.

Where is the Ertürk Lines office in Çeşme?

At Ulusoy Port, Atadağ Caddesi No:2 (port office +90 232 712 66 88); the call centre is +90 232 712 67 68. Ertürk told us the port office opens 1 hour before departure, and its FAQ names the paid Ulusoy car park next to the port.
