Since the start of the ferry service on October 10, 2022, the ferry ‘Smyrna di Levante’ has carried out 40 trips.

When the ferry line was first launched, the company said it would create a bridge of communication between Greece and Turkey and that the two countries were coming closer on a trade, social and cultural level.
