Detailed Route Guide
Ferries from Ekinlik Island to Erdek are the mainland return leg of GESTAŞ's South Marmara Islands Line milk-run loop. As Ekinlik is the smallest inhabited island in the archipelago, these services usually operate only on Mondays and Thursdays.
Ekinlik – Erdek Ferry Timetable (2026)
| Ekinlik Departure | Erdek Arrival | Days |
|---|---|---|
| 06:20 | ~11:00 | Monday / Thursday |
| 16:30 | ~19:30 | Monday / Thursday |
The morning service calls at Marmara and Balıklı within the loop before reaching the mainland, so arrival in Erdek is later. As sailing days are limited, be sure to plan your return journey according to this schedule. For details, refer to the operational guide.
Mainland Connection
Passengers arriving in Erdek from Ekinlik can continue to Bandırma via Erdek, and from there to Istanbul, Bursa, or Izmir. As Erdek is also the hub for other island lines (Avşa, Marmara, Paşalimanı), inter-island transfers can also be made from here.
Tickets and Practical Information
- For the return journey, see the Erdek – Ekinlik timetable.
- Tickets: pier ticket office (~2 hours before departure), GESTAŞ online tickets or GestCard.
- As sailing days are limited and sensitive to weather conditions, check GESTAŞ announcements before your journey.
For the entire line, review the South Marmara Islands Line operational guide.
