Hi everyone. I’ve just finished updating my main Greek ferry pages for the 2026 season.

Greek ferry travel is one of my favorite parts of traveling in Greece. In a world of delayed flights, airport lines, and rideshare apps, Greek ferries still feel like something different. They are slow in the best way, a little chaotic, often beautiful, and completely tied to the rhythm of the islands. They’re not polished or sterile, and not particularly interested in pretending to be luxurious - which is exactly part of the charm.

You board with a backpack and a coffee, find your seat, and a few hours later, you’re pulling into a harbor with whitewashed houses and a waterfront lined with fishing boats and lazy lunch tables. The whole process is shockingly efficient despite the outward chaos - in part because the crew treats every passenger with the warm hospitality of a very tired prison guard.

Of course, ferry travel can also be confusing. If it’s your first time, the questions abound: which port to use, which boat to choose, when to book, whether high-speed is worth it, and how early to arrive. There is also the puzzle of how to manage a coffee, a donut, your bags, and your ticket with only two hands. (I have not mastered this part yet.)


The following ferry pages are now fully updated for 2026:


Happy travels,
