Ferries in Greece...

...they aren't as dangerous as they look!














Ferry travel in Greece can be a frustrating experience.
You buy a ticket and the scheduled ferry was somehow canceled or something.
Here is a link to AthensGuide Ferry schedule which they update every week based on the Athens News schedule. Like it says in the Guide, don't plan on booking your ferry based on this schedule, they change every week and in the summer more ferry routes open up more often. For instance, a ferry from Pireaus (Athens) to Gythio (or Githeo as listed on the schedule) only leaves once in the Spring, BUT by August there will be more ferries because of the tourist season...something to keep in mind.

The best thing to do is to book through a travel agent when you get there (or contact them before your trip so they can lock down hotels and so forth), they will be able to confirm ferry times and routes.
