Sunrise Lines strengthens Direct Ferries’ Aegean offering

Direct Ferries is happy to announce the addition of Sunrise Lines to its global network, expanding access to ferry connections between the Greek island of Chios and Türkiye.

Established in 2003, Sunrise Lines has built its operations around the reliable connection between Chios and Çeşme, providing regular ferry services between Greece and Türkiye throughout the year.

““We’re very pleased to welcome Sunrise Lines to the Direct Ferries network. The addition of this established operator strengthens our coverage of the North Aegean and gives our partners another reliable option for customers travelling between Greece and Türkiye. We’re looking forward to helping Sunrise Lines reach a wider international audience through our distribution network,” ”
— Ido Schiferli, Head of Partnerships at Direct Ferries


The company’s main international connection links Chios and Çeşme, with the crossing taking around 35 minutes on current schedules. Direct Ferries currently lists Sunrise Lines services operating daily on the route, providing multiple travel options between the Greek island and the Turkish mainland.

The Chios–Çeşme connection provides an important link between the North Aegean and the Turkish Aegean coast. Çeşme is also within easy reach of İzmir, making the ferry a convenient option for travellers combining island stays in Greece with visits to western Türkiye.

Through its integration with Direct Ferries, Sunrise Lines becomes part of an expanding portfolio of ferry operators available to travel businesses through a single global distribution platform.

The addition further strengthens Direct Ferries’ coverage across the Aegean and gives OTAs, travel agencies and other distribution partners greater access to ferry services connecting Greece and Türkiye.

With Sunrise Lines now available through the network, Direct Ferries continues to expand its international ferry inventory and make regional maritime connections easier for travel businesses to distribute to customers worldwide.
