 hello evryone,

we will go to Egypt at the end of this month and after that we'll go to Israel, fisrt Eilat and than Tel Aviv and we're searching the CHEAPEST way to go to Istanbul from Tel Aviv, flight, ship, bus anything etc! do you have any advises?? 

Hi,

I don't know if it's the cheapest, but the easiest way is to fly. It's about an hour (maybe a little more) flight.

As far as I know, your other option is to join a cruise that stops in Turkey.

Unfortunately the only option you have is a flight.

Israel is still in conflict with its neighbors to the north, Syria and Lebanon, so to get to Istanbul by land you will need to make a detour through Jordan, and even then you might have problems because apparently the Syrians don't allow entry if they notice any evidence that you've been to Israel.

The only ships going from Israel to Turkey are (afaik) these luxury cruises that cost a lot more than a flight, which is not THAT expensive.
