Greece ferries, good to know
How do I book Greek island ferry tickets?＋
Search your route and date above, choose a sailing, and book online in a few clicks. You'll get an e-ticket by email, no need to queue at the port.
When is the Greek ferry season?＋
High-speed catamaran services run mainly from April to October, peaking in July and August. Conventional ferries to the larger islands run year-round.
How far ahead should I book?＋
For July and August, especially Santorini, Mykonos and any crossing with a car, book several weeks ahead. Popular sailings sell out in peak season.
Can I take a car on Greek ferries?＋
Yes, most conventional ferries carry vehicles. Add your car during the search and book early, as vehicle space is limited and goes first.
Piraeus or Rafina, which Athens port should I use?＋
Piraeus serves most of the Aegean and all the big islands. Rafina is closer to Athens airport and often quicker and cheaper for Mykonos, Tinos and Andros.
