Kusadasi to Pythagorio Route Map
This is one of the shortest sea crossings between Greece and Turkey, linking the resort port of Kusadasi with the small harbour of Pythagorio on Samos. Rather than open Aegean water, the boat cuts across the narrow strait that separates Samos from the Turkish mainland, so you are never far from land on either side and the ride is generally calm. Because both ends are international ports, you'll clear passport control before boarding and again on arrival, so allow a little extra time compared with a domestic Greek ferry.
It is not a high-frequency shuttle service -- check the panel above for the current frequency and sailing days, since these are confirmed and updated regularly rather than fixed year-round.

- Some seasonal ferry routes only operate from late May to late September or early October – check whether your route is year-round before booking.
- Keep your passport, wallet, and phone in a small bag you keep with you at all times, not in your main luggage stowed in the overhead rack.
- The school summer holidays begin in mid-June and domestic travel volumes rise sharply; prices and demand increase from this point.
