Summer Ferry Schedules for the Greek Islands
Vessels of every type, passenger ships, ferries, hydrofoils and catamaran craft cross the sea highways, in all the seas of Greece, able to carry 100,000 passengers and 20,000 private vehicles every day. These vessels are distributed in such a manner that they connect the Central harbours of Attica, Piraeus and Rafina with the islands, and every island to the other. In addition, other harbours of Attica and continental Greece are connected by ship with the islands.
Moreover, the remaining harbours of Attica and the other harbours of mainland Greece such as Patras, Kyllini, Thessaloniki, Igoumenitsa, Alexandroupolis, Kavala, Volos, etc. have a coastal connection to the island region.
Most domestic routes take place every day and throughout the year. Some depart in the afternoon for all-night travel, and some leave in the morning to return on the same day via the same or other ports.
All passenger ships, depending on the routes they do, have First and Economy classes, bar, restaurant and other services that vary depending on the type of vessel and the duration of the trip.
