Istanbul ferries to Yalta/Odessa,etc
 

Hi; <BR>we are planning a first time trip to Istanbul this fall.We want to take a boat of some kind to perhaps Yalta or Odessa and also<BR>to a Bulgarian seaside resort. I don't really want to get on a big cruise ship...<BR>can anyone tell me if we can just catch a ferry that goes on certain days to Yalta or Odessa? Do you know a web site for this info?(I have searched for one with out any luck)<BR>I read where ferries go to some of these places but nothing specific. CAn we just go to Istanbul and buy a ticket later to get on a ferry to cross the Black Sea. WE are aware of visa requirements for the Ukraine.<BR><BR>any suggestions<BR>thanks,<BR>gloria
