Hi, I will be in Istanbul and will need to get down to one of the ports in Turkey to take a ferry to the greek islands. I will be heading towards the cyclade group. What is the quickest/easiest way to get there? Thanks!
Flying. Istanbul>Izmir will put you close to Kusadasi where you can catch a ferry to Samos. From Samos you can catch the Hellenic Seaways ferry to Naxos or Paros.

During the summer months SkyExpress should have direct flights from Samos to either Mykonos or Santorini, perhaps both.
