Hello Craig,<BR><BR>TURKISH MARMARA LINES appear to offer a weekly service Brindisi-Cesme leaving at 14.00 on Sundays.<BR><BR>www.marmaralines.com<BR>www.aegean tourtravel.com/ferries/brindisi.html<BR><BR>Hope this helps ...<BR><BR>Steve

There are several summer ferry services between Brindisi and Cesme, with a journey time of around 32 hours, including Marmara Lines, Sancak Line (apparently a nice ship but teetotal), Turkish Maritime Lines, Access Ferries and Med Link Lines. All these are summer services which finish in September. Most web sites are in Turkish and German as that's where the passengers come from (www.accessferries.de, www.sancakline.com, www.tdi.com.tr).

I've noticed that whenever there's a question about ferry routes and schedules, Steve James always answers. Have you taken all these ferries, Steve, or is there just something about ferries that intrigues you so you always research these questions? I'm not being a smart *ss or anything, Steve. I was just intrigued by what I've noticed.
