About the Seferihisar – Samos crossing
Turyol provides one daily crossing from the Turkish port of Seferihisar to the Greek island of Samos. This international service departs every day at 09:00. The journey covers a distance of approximately 31 nautical miles across the Aegean Sea.
Timetable and Connections
The single daily sailing schedule is consistent throughout the week, with the first and only departure set for 09:00. Given there is only one sailing per day, booking in advance is a practical step, especially during peak travel periods. This schedule allows for arrival in Greece with the majority of the day ahead.
From the port on Samos, passengers can find onward ferry connections to other Greek islands. Services are available to Kalymnos, Kos, and Mykonos in the Cyclades. A major route also links Samos with the mainland port of Piraeus, near Athens. Another international ferry runs from Samos to Kusadasi in Turkey.
Your destination
About Samos
From Samos, Turkey is seventy-five minutes away and Athens is nine hours. That single fact reorganises how the island is used: Ephesus is an easy day out, İzmir is a plausible airport, and the ferry to Piraeus is an overnight you take once. The island has three harbours, and one of them cannot help you cross to Turkey at all.
