An adult one-way ferry ticket from the Turkish coast to a Greek island costs roughly €17.50 to €75 in October 2026, depending on the route. The cheapest crossings are the short ones, such as Kaş–Kastellorizo; the most expensive is the long Çanakkale–Lemnos catamaran. Port fees on some routes and, on a few lines, a car fare come on top.

Fares on every route
The table below is generated from the sourced data behind our ferry map. Fares are for adults; child, return and day-trip fares vary by operator. Click a route name for its full guide.
Data checked: 11 November 2026. Ticket links are Ferryscanner affiliate links: if you book, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
The table only includes routes with a confirmed regular or seasonal service in 2026. We did not find a reliable 2026 timetable for routes such as Didim–Leros, Bodrum–Symi or Bodrum–Rhodes, so they are not listed.
Price per minute at sea
The comparison below uses the midpoint of each route's published adult one-way fare range and the midpoint of its crossing-time range. It is a rough comparison: fares and times vary by operator, boat and date. Routes that only list a return fare and routes whose 2026 service is unconfirmed are left out.
Cheapest per minute at sea: Seferihisar – Samos (€0.31). Most expensive: Kaş – Kastellorizo (€1.06) (among 14 routes).

About this dataset
Last updated: · Download the data (CSV) · All open datasets
Method: For each route we take the adult foot-passenger one-way fare range and the crossing time from the operators' fare pages and timetables, and from booking platforms where an operator publishes none. The CSV covers routes that ran regularly or seasonally in 2026; values we could not verify are left blank.
Sources: Operators' own websites (Ertürk, Turyol, Jalem Tur, İDO, Meander Travel, Tilos Travel, Yeşil Marmaris Lines, Meis Express and others), feribotseferleri.com.tr, Ferryhopper and Ferryscanner listings; the sources for each route are in the CSV.

What else you pay
Port fees
Some ports charge a per-passenger fee on top of the ticket. According to Jalem Tur’s fare page, every passenger leaving Ayvalık pays 300 TL. On the Kaş–Kastellorizo crossing, operators mention a Greek port tax of about €5 that may be added; ask the operator for the exact amount.
Turkey’s departure fee
Turkey charges its own citizens a departure fee of 1,250 TL (from 1 January 2026) when they leave the country. It is not part of the ferry ticket. Children under 7 and Turkish citizens with a residence permit abroad are exempt. See customs allowances between Greece and Turkey for more on what you can bring back.
Cars
Only a few routes take vehicles. In October 2026 Jalem Tur charged €75 one way and €110 return for a car on Ayvalık–Lesvos, and Ertürk €90–100 one way on Çeşme–Chios. See taking a car to the Greek islands.
Entry checks
The EU’s Entry/Exit System (EES) does not cost anything at the border. What it means for UK, EU and other travellers is explained in our EES and ETIAS guide.
To work out the cost of your own trip with dates and the number of travellers, use the trip cost calculator.
How to pay less
- Same-day returns: on several routes a same-day return costs less than two one-way tickets on different days.
- Check the season: many routes run less often in winter and some stop entirely; see the ferry season calendar.
- Compare operators: Ayvalık–Lesvos, Bodrum–Kos and Kuşadası–Samos have more than one operator, and fares differ. Full list: ferry operators.
- Only crossing for the day? Our day-trip guides set out timings and organised tours in both directions: Marmaris to Rhodes, Rhodes to Marmaris, Bodrum to Kos and Kos to Bodrum.

FAQ
What is the cheapest ferry from Turkey to a Greek island?
On October 2026 data, Kaş–Kastellorizo is the cheapest at about €17.50–25 adult one way. Turgutreis–Kalymnos is listed at a similar price, but we could not confirm that it ran in 2026, so we do not count it. Bodrum–Kos costs €25–35.
Are fares in euros or Turkish lira?
Operators mostly publish ferry fares in euros; some booking sites show the lira equivalent. Port fees such as Ayvalık’s and Turkey’s departure fee are charged in lira.
Are 2027 fares out yet?
Not as of October 2026. We collect changes as operators publish them on our 2027 ferry timetables page.
Timetables, fares and entry rules can change; check with the operator before you travel.
