Great news for travelers! Now it will be possible to get from Sochi to Turkey by ferry (previously ferries ran on this route from 1992 to 2014). We can say that this is a dream for those who like to travel in comfort, and even in their own car.
The management of the Sochi port began seriously thinking about launching such a ferry a year ago. It will be possible not only to sail to the Turkish shores, but also to transfer your car. A ferry for 300 people will be used on the Sochi-Trabzon route. It will also be able to transport 200 cars, 6 buses and 12 containers.
Now the number one task in the Sochi port is to find suitable transport. And as soon as the right ferry is found, literally two weeks after purchase it will be sent on its maiden voyage.
According to preliminary data, the ferry will depart from Sochi on Tuesday and Friday, and from Trabzon on Monday and Thursday. It was planned that at the first stage one ferry would be used along the route; the travel time would be about 8 hours.
