🚢 Akçay → Lesvos Ferry Services

🌊 A New Maritime Era in the Aegean

The new sea route extending from the Edremit Gulf in Balıkesir to Lesvos aims to strengthen the region's tourism and transportation vision. With this planning, Akçay is not just a seaside town but has become a new gateway to international sea transportation.

📍 Where is Akçay and Why is it Important for Lesvos?

Akçay is a seaside resort located on the shores of the Edremit Gulf, known for its tourism infrastructure, holiday settlements, and strategic location.

This position makes Akçay a natural departure point for sea transportation to Lesvos Island.

Within the planning supported by the Balıkesir Metropolitan Municipality, it is aimed to launch regular ferry services from Akçay Pier to Lesvos in the summer season of 2026.
