The easiest and most frequent way to travel between Greece and Turkey is on a ferry from a Greek island to the Turkish coasts. Some Eastern Aegean and Dodecanese islands are less than an hour ferry ride from the Turkish coasts, which results very convenient for a daily excursion or quick transfer between the two countries.
