FAQ

Vathy or Pythagorio: which Samos port should I choose?

Meander sails to both. In October 2026 the Pythagorio boat ran until 18 October and the Vathy boat until 1 November, and in winter only Vathy is served. The Flex Port ticket lets you arrive at one and leave from the other. See our Kuşadası to Samos ferry guide.

Does Meander Travel run in winter?

Yes, but rarely: the 2026 winter timetable has one trip a week to Vathy, out on Saturday at 09:15 and back on Sunday at 17:00, from 7 November to 27 December.

Are port taxes included in Meander’s fares?

Yes. The fare page says the Kuşadası and Samos port taxes are included in the listed prices.

Can I go to Patmos with Meander Travel?

Only by private charter: Meander offers to charter one of its boats for a Patmos day trip from Kuşadası. The scheduled Kuşadası–Patmos ferry in 2026 was run by IDO.

How do I buy a Meander Travel ticket?

Online on samosaferibot.com (Turkish) or ferrytosamos.com (English), or through Meander’s head office in Kuşadası (+90 256 612 88 88). Ferryscanner also sells the route.
