For transportation from Ku\u015fadas\u0131 to Samos, you can choose the Ert\u00fcrk Lines ferry departing at 09:00 every day. The return is at 18:00 every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ferry from Ku\u015fadas\u0131 to Samos takes approximately one and a half hours. However, even if you have booked your ticket online for the ferry journey, you must submit your original ticket to the company. Therefore, you may have to queue and wait for the ticket check at the harbour. Although the ferry is expected to depart at 09:00, which is the scheduled departure time after the checks and other procedures, it may be delayed in some cases. You may also have to wait for passport and visa checks at the port of Samos. This may cause loss of time for day visits to the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, you can also cross to Samos by ferries from Seferihisar. Departure takes place at 08:00 and return at 17:00. You can buy tickets for both lines online or at the ticket offices at the harbour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After reaching Samos, the most convenient way to explore the island is to rent a car. There are car hire companies in many places in Samos. You can choose local companies as well as global companies from these companies lined up along Vathy Harbour. However, I recommend you to rent a car in order to get around the island comfortably and reach the points worth seeing. Prices start from 30\u20ac per day and can go up to 80\u20ac depending on the type of vehicle. You can have a reliable car hire experience by booking in advance and testing the air conditioning before you pick up the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make your preparations to discover all the beauties of Samos and enjoy an unforgettable holiday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You can reach the island by ferries from Ku\u015fadas\u0131 or Seferihisar to discover the unique beauties of Samos.
