We purchased our tickets from the travel agent in town $107 euro for us and the bike then we had to pay$39 euro for the port taxes when we left.
The boat left at 1400 hrs and we got there one hour before departure, well after traveling on the Greek ferries when I saw the boat we were going on I was quite surprised but the more I travel the more I like to be surprised.
We loaded on a ramp that barley made it to the concrete then I proceeded to supervise the tie down of the bike, fifteen minutes later I was happy that the bike would not go anywhere.
Well the trip was fun the boat rolled from side to side as the wind picked up, I would estimate at least 40 knots with a 12ft to 15 ft swell. Yes there was puking again from some of the other passengers but it was great to stand on deck and be on the ocean again. I guess I miss the sail boat.
We arrived after two and a half hours just before dark and had to do customs. This was not a problem until we needed to do the papers for the bike. All over Europe they have separate papers for insurance and registration so they were confused when I pulled out just a slip of paper for my Bike registration that all explained then the computers went down so we waited till 6 pm for them to come on line again then we were allowed to leave. All in all a very helpful and understanding boarder crossing.
Welcome to Turkey
