Hi everyone,
I’m visiting Turkey next week and trying to book a ferry (car + 2 passengers) to Gökçeada or Bozcaada via Gestaş – both on their website and the Gestaş Mobile app. However, no matter what I try, I always get an error (payment fails or the system crashes). I am trying to book them from abroad - Bulgaria.
I’ve tried:
- Booking as a guest and as a registered user
- Paying with both Visa and Mastercard
- Switching to Turkish language / address
- Using different devices and browsers
Nothing seems to work.
Has anyone faced the same issue recently?
Are there any reliable alternatives to book these ferries online? Or should I just show up early at the pier and buy the ticket in person? I don't really fancy that option because I will be travelling from abroad and I don't want to leave it up to a change if I will be able to board the ferry or not.
Thanks in advance! Any advice would be super helpful.
