About Ugur Jale

Ugur Jale is a ferry company that connects the Turkish coast with the Greek island of Lesbos, offering regular crossings between Ayvalık and Mytilene. The company runs a single vessel and focuses on safe, fast, and reliable service for travelers moving between these two neighboring cultures. It’s a straightforward way to explore the northern Aegean by sea.

The story of Ugur Jale begins in 1923, when Eşref Jale and Ali Jale, both experienced ship captains, started sailing from Ayvalık to deliver essential goods like olive oil and timber to major Turkish cities. Their work helped shape regional maritime trade. In 1984, Engin Jale returned to Ayvalık and expanded the family business into a more modern maritime and tourism company. Today, the company continues under the leadership of Ugur Jale, staying true to its roots while bridging borders.
