Summer 2027 sailings have started to appear in Ertürk Lines’ booking system. When we checked on 29 October 2026, Çeşme-Chios was listed to 30 September 2027, Fethiye-Rhodes to 31 October 2027 and Kaş-Kastellorizo to 30 November 2027. If you are planning a spring or Easter trip, you can now match your dates to actual sailings; fares are not shown yet.
What happened?
On 29 October we queried the booking system behind Ertürk’s timetable pages for 1 January to 31 December 2027 with two different search patterns (45- and 25-day windows, and 45- and 30-day windows for the second half of the year). Both returned the same sailings and the same sailing IDs:
- Çeşme-Chios (Ertürk fast boat, no cars): Wednesdays and Fridays to Sundays in April; daily from Friday 30 April to Thursday 30 September. Çeşme 09:00, Chios 18:00. The timetable we reported yesterday ended on 30 April (our 28 October story).
- Fethiye-Rhodes (Sea Star): Wednesdays and Fridays to Sundays from 31 March, daily from Friday 14 May to Sunday 31 October (Fethiye 08:25, Rhodes 16:30). From 15 May to 24 September a second boat leaves Rhodes daily at 08:25 and Fethiye at 16:30. In 2026 the daily service started on 27 April.
- Kaş-Kastellorizo (Meis Ferry Lines, Kalimera): daily from Monday 19 April to 30 November, Kaş 09:30, Kastellorizo 16:00, with a few extra days in late March. The system also shows a second boat on some days between February and April; we could not confirm who operates it.
- Bodrum-Kos: for 2027 only Asım Kaptan is listed, Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays up to Wednesday 28 April (Bodrum 09:15, Kos 16:30). Nothing after that yet.
Ertürk does not say whether times are Turkish or Greek time; ask when you book.
What it means for travellers
- Easter and 1 May: Orthodox Easter is on 2 May 2027. Kaş-Kastellorizo runs daily from 19 April; Çeşme-Chios and Fethiye-Rhodes sail Friday to Sunday 23-25 April and Wednesday 28 April, and Çeşme-Chios is daily from 30 April. Ertürk shows no Bodrum-Kos sailings after 28 April yet.
- Ramadan holiday in Turkey (9-11 March): expect busy boats on Çeşme-Chios. Ertürk lists daily sailings 5-14 March and Turyol’s catamaran 4-14 March, both Çeşme 09:00, Chios 16:30.
- New Year: Turyol also lists a 09:00 departure from Çeşme on 1 January 2027 (Catamaran Imbros); Ertürk has only the 16:30 return from Chios that day.
- Visa on arrival (Turkish passport holders only): the current programme runs until April 2027. As of 29 October 2026 no decision on an extension has been announced. See visa on arrival on the Greek islands.
Route details are in our guides to Çeşme-Chios, Fethiye-Rhodes, Kaş-Kastellorizo and Bodrum-Kos; the 2027 status of every route is in our 2027 ferry tracker, and the operator overview is on our Ertürk page. Sailings in a booking system can change; check again before you buy.
