If you find yourself in the Aegean region of Türkiye, you’ll discover that some of the tourist hubs offer ferry connections to the Greek islands dotting the Aegean Sea. For instance, the vibrant city of Marmaris, situated in the southwest, is just an hour away from Rhodes, the fourth largest island in Greece and the capital of the Dodecanese islands. Rhodes beckons with its medieval charm, and a visit to this captivating island is a must during your stay in Marmaris.
Another enticing option is a trip to Kos island, which is a mere 1.5 hours away from the beloved summer destination of Bodrum. Kos is famed for its picturesque landscapes and historical sites, including ancient ruins and a medieval castle. Likewise, the enchanting island of Chios, known as “the Mastic Island” due to its exports of mastic gum, is conveniently close to Çeşme, a popular summer holiday spot in the İzmir province of Türkiye. Chios boasts captivating medieval villages and the impressive 11th-century Nea Moni monastery.
Heading north, you’ll encounter Lesvos, a sizable Greek island in the Aegean Sea. Accessible by ferry from Ayvalık, a western Turkish city, Lesvos is often referred to as the “Island of Poets” and holds significance as the birthplace of the ancient Greek poet Sappho. Explore the island’s scenic beauty and delve into its rich cultural heritage.
