As of Tuesday, October 20, 2026, the current status of ferry services on the Çanakkale Strait lines operated by GESTAŞ Deniz Ulaşım has been announced. Accordingly, services on the Çanakkale-Kilitbahir and Çanakkale-Eceabat lines are continuing as scheduled, while the Lapseki-Gelibolu line operates without a fixed timetable.
This announcement is particularly important for passengers who rely on ferries for their daily commute and for local residents. Passengers traveling from Çanakkale Pier or Eceabat Pier only need to plan according to the existing schedule. However, passengers crossing from Lapseki Pier to Gelibolu Pier are advised to consider potential waiting times or confirm the current status, as services continue without a fixed timetable.
GESTAŞ Deniz Ulaşım is a critical part of urban and intercity transportation in the Çanakkale Strait. The company manages the intense maritime traffic in the region, meeting the transportation needs of both local residents and visitors. The Çanakkale-Eceabat and Çanakkale-Kilitbahir lines are particularly important for crossing to the historical peninsula where the Çanakkale War took place.
