If there are any schedule changes they will know and make the Wrong or change and you can't get to that hotel you will still br responsible for the booking and that is why I encourage you to coordinate ferries and hotels with a reliable Greek travel agency like Fantasy Travel or Dolphin Hellas. If you are using this info so you can book individual hotels on your own remember that if they are If you have a car, again you are out of luck because both of these boats are for passengers The Seajets buzz around the Cyclades connecting Mykonos and Santorini to several others.
By the way neither boat takes cars or motorbikes. This is a summer schedule so don't count on it from late September on and this is based on the 2015 schedule. If you are looking for the Connection between Crete and the Cyclades, in typical Greek ferry fashion which defies logic there are two boats leaving within half hour of each other and going to pretty much the same islands: Santorini, Ios, Paros and Mykonos, except one goes to Naxos insteadĪnd Santorini as many people are. There are places to store luggage in the cafeterias and waiting areas which are generally open 24 hours. The port of Pireaus is wireless though how well it works depends on where you are, what computer you use, how the system happens to feel that day and any number of factors. The Crete ferries in particular are the newest and the best with beautiful cabins, large lounges with non-smoking areas and some even have pools, like the Superfast which only takes 6 hours from Pireaus to Heraklion. Go to Lesvos, Crete, Kalymnos, Leros, Kos and Rhodes which are all at least 12 hour trips. To me an overnight ferry is one you get on at 7pm and you arrive at 7am refreshed after a nice sleep in a comfortable cabin. Not really convenient when you realize you are stuck in a little port or at the bus station with all your luggage till things open up or you can check into your hotel at noon. They leave at 8 or 10pm (not every night) and they arrive at 4 or 5 am. Looking for the elusive ' overnight ferries' to Santorini it is a misnomer. Even in the winter there are daily boats to all the Saronic Islands. From May there are at least 8 boats a day to Hydra and even more to Aegina. It is an e-mail form which became necessary when I started getting so much spam I could not spot the actual e-mails amongst it.įor those going to the Saronic Islands,there are lots of boats every day. You can always e-mail me for more information too. I also recommend which is probably the best ferry booking site out there.įor more information on getting to the port of Pireaus, where the ferries are and everything you need to know about booking ferries in Greece including some things you may not want to know see Greekįerry Information which is my main page for the ferries and most frequently updated.įor information on the Greek Islands see my Greek Island Synopsis and Matt's Greek Island Guide Also visit Fantasy Travel's Greek Island-Hopping Programs because you may find the island combination you want to do at a price you did not think possible.įor information on purchasing tickets see Greek Ferry Boat Tickets where you can actually book ferry tickets with Dolphin Hellas who are a reliable travel agency with real live humans and not a computer program that you can't talk to if there is something weird with your tickets. Try my Create and Itinerary Form and Fantasy Travel can put together an island itinerary based on availability ofįerries and give you a price. They can call the ferry companies and get accurate information and won't book you into a hotel that you can't reach on a particular day. But since I have you here and I am too lazy to search my site to find every link to this page I may as well educate you some more about Greek ferry boats and booking your island trips so here we go: It is best to book hotels with a reliableĪgency and let them work out the ferry schedules.
In fact there is no more Athens News either. Unfortunately the Greek Ministry of Merchant Marine stopped sending them out so until they start again, if they start again, you won't find the weekly schedules on my website or in the Athens Thanks to the Athens News and the amazing Giannis Smyrnis who for years had been sending me the weekly ferry schedules like clockwork every Wednesday.
