COMPANY PROFILE

Meander Feribot was founded in 1977 in Kusadasi by Mr. Temel Gür, who began with a single wooden boat — the Diana — carrying passengers between the Turkish coast and the nearby Greek island of Samos. From those modest beginnings as Diana Travel & Shipping Agency, the company has grown into one of the most established ferry operators on the Aegean, with nearly five decades of continuous service connecting Turkey to the Greek islands.

Today, Meander Feribot serves passengers in two complementary ways. As a ferry operator, we run our own vessels on the Kusadasi–Samos route and offer dedicated charter crossings to Patmos for pilgrimage and religious groups. We are the only operator providing daily services to both ports of Samos — Pythagorion and Vathy — throughout the entire summer season. As a ticketing agent, we issue ferry tickets from Turkey's Aegean ports — Ayvalik, Cesme, Kusadasi, Bodrum, Turgutreis, Marmaris, and Kas — to the Greek islands of Lesvos, Chios, Samos, Kos, Rhodes, and Kastellorizo, helping travellers find and book the right crossing for their journey. Still family-owned and rooted in Kusadasi, we combine the experience that comes with decades on the water with the warmth and continuity of an independent family business.
