In 1993, the Turyol ferry company was established, initially operating with just two small rowboats to transport passengers across the Black Sea. Over the years, Turyol has grown to become the largest private ferry operator in Turkey and the second-largest overall, boasting a fleet of 70 vessels, with 60 dedicated to scheduled passenger service.
Primarily operating in the vicinity of Istanbul and facilitating travel between western Turkey and Greece, Turyol offers connections between Ayvalik and Cesme in Turkey and the Greek islands of Lesvos (Mytilene) and Chios. The company's vessels operate throughout both the summer and winter seasons, providing a reliable and convenient travel option for passengers.
Turyol's fleet is characterized by modern and comfortable ships, ensuring a pleasant and enjoyable experience for travelers. The company places a strong emphasis on passenger satisfaction, with well-equipped facilities and a dedicated crew committed to meeting the needs of every individual on board by offering a wide range of amenities.
The company also offers cuises around Bosphorus for those who would like some guided tours and unique city views from the strait that separates Europe & Asia.
