Looking for transport options between The Netherlands and Turkey
I'm looking for options of getting myself and my motorcycle from The Netherlands to Turkey.
In 2018 I rode to Venice (3 days), took the Venice to Igoumenitsa ferry (1 day) and then across Northern Greece towards to Turkish border (3 days). Great journey but with limited time off I would like to focus my trip on Turkey only. Highways aren't an option for my motorcycle.
I looked at the Optima Express train from Austria but that looks like it doesn't save me much time. 2 days to ride to Villach, then 2 days on the train to Edirne. €1742 return-trip with a sleeping compartment in the off-season seems excessive.
Motorcycle transport companies in The Netherlands offer services for Spain, Austria, Italy and various other Western holiday destinations. So far I haven't found a company that ships to Turkey (or a neighbouring country).
Does anyone have other options beside the train or ferry? Are there transport companies that ship bikes on this route?
