Transport Routes and Port Options

There are 3 main ports from which you can depart from the Aegean Region. Knowing the characteristics of departure points makes it easier to plan your journey when deciding where to start.

As the Güven Travel team, we guide you through ticket purchasing and transfer stages. Here are the sea routes you can choose:

Ferries Departing from Dikili:

Ferries departing from Dikili, a northern district of Izmir, are one of the shortest ways to reach the island.

Akçay and Edremit Gulf:

Akçay-Lesvos Ferry departures provide direct transit for our guests located around Balıkesir.

Aliağa Port:

If you are thinking of traveling with your own vehicle, Aliağa-Lesvos Ferry services are an ideal choice with their high vehicle capacity.

Ferry Journey Durations and Important Details

When choosing a port, the duration of the sea voyage and vehicle transit options are of great importance.

Journey Durations: Departures from Dikili port take an average of 45 to 60 minutes, while Aliağa and Akçay departures range between 90 and 120 minutes.

Vehicle and Pedestrian Transfers: As pedestrian passengers, you can prefer fast catamarans, or if you want to explore the island by car, you can opt for vehicle-carrying ferry tickets.

Visa Procedures at Arrival and Required Documents

Citizens planning to visit Lesvos Island by sea must check their visa status.

If you have a green passport or a Schengen visa, you can directly purchase your ticket and start your journey. Guests holding a red (ordinary) passport can benefit from visa-on-arrival facilities. Passengers applying for a visa on arrival only need to submit documents such as a photocopy of their passport, biometric photo, and bank statement to us at least 4 days before the departure date. Your passport must not contain a North Cyprus entry stamp.

Purchasing individual tickets and reaching the island may make hotel reservations or intra-island transportation challenging. Instead of planning just the transport, you can consider an all-inclusive Lesvos tour option.
