Blue Sapphire Cruise With Çeşme Exit: Program Selection Guide

For anyone looking to take a cruise holiday in the Aegean starting from Çeşme, the Blue Sapphire is one of the ships worth researching. When choosing between a short getaway and a longer island itinerary, do not look only at how many islands are visited; the time spent in each port and the nights spent aboard also determine the rhythm of your holiday.

Blue Sapphire is the ship, Selectum Blu Cruises is the operator

The official presentation by Selectum Blu Cruises describes the Blue Sapphire as a ship in its fleet. When researching a booking, note the ship name and the operator together. Even if you come across similar spellings, check that the full name Blue Sapphire appears in your offer.

Complete the Çeşme departure with terminal information

The operator's Çeşme page lists Ulusoy Çeşme Port as the departure point. For your own sailing, base your decision on the entry and meeting information in your current boarding document. Do not confuse the city center, the marina, or a meeting point used for the Chios ferry with the cruise terminal entrance.

Compare visit times for each island

In itineraries that include names such as Rhodes, Kos, Samos, Patmos, or Mykonos, do not assume every island is visited on the same sailing. Read the daily schedule in order: on which day do you arrive at which port, when do you depart, and where do you spend the night? Choose the land excursion you want based on the time available in port.

Read cabin, meal, and land tour details separately

Alongside cabin category, availability, and bed layout, check what food and beverage is included in the package. Ask separately about the price of any shore excursion offered at the port, transfer, or independent sightseeing option. Do not calculate the total budget of a shorter itinerary by the number of nights alone.

Complete documents and boarding conditions for your chosen sailing

Do not generalize a visa statement in an advertisement to all island itineraries. Confirm in writing the valid document list and application timeline for your passport, nationality, and the full journey before booking. Also check the boarding time from the current sailing notice rather than from an old-season brochure.

If you are considering accommodation in Çeşme or a port transfer, first clarify the check-in time for the ship and build your sightseeing and transport plans around it.

Frequently Asked Questions

GÜVENTUR offers Lesvos tours and ferry services from Dikili, Ayvalık, Akçay and Aliağa. Available departure ports and sailing times vary by season and programme; check the details of your chosen trip before booking.

Options include day trips, 2 days / 1 night and 3 days / 2 nights. Please be at the port at least one hour before departure for check-in and passport procedures, and follow any earlier reporting time stated on your ticket.

The Greek island facilitated-entry visa scheme is intended for eligible Turkish citizens travelling by sea from Türkiye to participating Greek islands. It requires an application and approval; it is not a visa that every traveller can obtain simply by arriving at the port.

Contact GÜVENTUR before booking to confirm whether the scheme is operating for your travel dates, the permitted stay, fees, required documents and submission deadline. Prepare your passport copy, biometric photographs, financial documents, return ferry booking and accommodation details as requested. Entry remains subject to the Greek authorities’ decision.

Browse the Lesvos tours or ferry tickets on the GÜVENTUR website. Open the product details, choose an available date and departure port, and review the programme, inclusions and conditions before completing your booking.

For help choosing a trip or checking availability, contact GÜVENTUR through the website’s contact or WhatsApp options. Your booking confirmation will include the relevant travel and document instructions.

The file generally includes a valid passport and copy, recent biometric photographs, the completed and signed application form, financial documents, a return ferry booking and accommodation confirmation. Additional documents may be required for your circumstances.

Ask GÜVENTUR for the current checklist and submission deadline before preparing your file. Passport validity, blank pages, photograph requirements and supporting documents must meet the Greek authorities’ current rules. Submitting documents does not guarantee visa approval or entry.

Travellers must carry a valid passport and meet the entry requirements applicable to their nationality and passport type. Turkish citizens holding ordinary passports generally need a valid Schengen visa or an approved visa under the Greek island facilitated-entry scheme, where available.

Visa exemptions apply to certain Turkish special, service and diplomatic passport holders. These rules do not apply automatically to travellers of other nationalities. Confirm your eligibility and current document requirements before booking; GÜVENTUR can assist with document checks and the application process.

GÜVENTUR can help arrange car rental on Lesvos. Port or hotel collection may be available, depending on the rental company, vehicle availability and your booking.

Book in advance, especially in busy periods. Before confirming, check the accepted driving licence, minimum age, deposit, insurance, collection point and return conditions with the rental provider. Turkish-language support is available through GÜVENTUR.

GÜVENTUR offers day trips, 2-day tours with 1 night and 3-day tours with 2 nights on Lesvos. Day trips usually return on the same day; overnight programmes allow more time to explore the island.

Depending on the itinerary, visits may include Molyvos, Petra, Plomari or Agiasos. Not every programme visits every destination. Check the selected tour page for the exact itinerary, accommodation, departure times and included services.

Children and infants need their own valid travel documents and must be included in the ferry booking. Visa requirements depend on the child’s nationality and passport type; being a child does not by itself create a visa exemption.

Child and infant fares, age limits and any visa-related charges vary by operator and programme. Check the selected trip and contact GÜVENTUR about the documents needed for minors, including any consent or accompanying-adult requirements.
