Soon I'm heading from Albania to Turkey to Georgia.

The obvious way is to go through Thessaloniki which is a great city and I'd like to go back.

But I'm considering an alternative plan of going via Athens instead. Now I don't like backtracking and I like being in new places and I like places with not many tourists and I like ferries. So I'm seeking a ferry option specifically.

Time is only a minor factor but budget is my biggest factor, both because I'm conserving my money but also because I enjoy the extra adventures travelling cheap always seems to provide.

So I really don't care where in Turkey I arrive. But Athens is a goal which probably means Piraeus as departure point. Departure date is early to mid October 2011 - soon!

So from Athens/Piraeus/vicinity to anywhere in Turkey by sea, what ferry options are the best bargains?

You may consider going to Chios and then to Cesme. Here is more information: There are many different options from Piraeus to Chios. Prices start from 22.50€. From Chios to Cesme, I have found one line for 25€. This site has the information related to pricing and time tables. You need to select your departure and arrival points from the menus.

There is a ferry between Piraeus and Samos at about 50€, then another ferry between Samos and Kuşadası at about 35€.
