Ferries in the Mediterranean
This article is a travel topic This page aims to provide an overview of all the ferry services in the Mediterranean Sea between southern Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. The Mediterranean Sea is sub-divided into a number of smaller seas, each with their own designation (from west to east). The ferries are - as far as possible - ordered by sea which they traverse. Please add website links, sailing frequencies, sailing durations, discounts. As the purpose of this page is to provide travellers who want to cross the Med with info, while adding, focus on international lines, instead of meticulously adding small ferries connecting island to the mainland.

Slovenia[edit]Ionian Sea between Italy, Greece, and Albania[edit]Greece[edit]Ferries travelling over the Ionian Sea connect Italy, Greece and Albania. The main ports of Italy are Bari, Brindisi, Venice and Ancona, while the main ports of Greece serving this route are Patras and Igoumenitsa
Aegean Sea between Greece and Turkey[edit]Within the Aegean Sea there are some smaller seas, including the Thracian and the Myrtoan Sea and the Sea of Crete. [22] The major ferry companies that operate in the Aegean Sea are: Smaller trips are operated by local companies e.g.
As more than 230 inhabited islands are located in the Aegean Sea, there are multiple ferry connections between these islands. Most of the islands are connected to Athens through the port of Piraeus, Rafina and Lavrion. Usually the larger islands (e.g. Crete, Mykonos, Santorini, Naxos), while the smaller ones (e.g. Anafi, Nisiros) are served with two or three itineraries per week. The itineraries get denser during summer. As the ferry routes in this island archipelago are quite complex, it is suggested to use a ferry schedule repository to get the most updated info as well as corresponding connections between islands that are not connected directly. Sea of Marmara (between the Aegean and Black Sea)[edit]Lots of ferry and fast ferry lines connect northern and southern coasts of Marmara, some examples are:
Also ferries run between Gelibolu/Eceabat on the northern bank of Dardanelles Strait (which links Aegean Sea and Marmara) and Lapseki/Çanakkale on the southern bank, respectively. Cilician Sea (between Turkey and Cyprus)[edit]
