If you have chosen to spend your summer vacation on a Greek island, you will probably ask yourself how traveling by sea in Greece is organized. Well, it is highly convenient.
Greek ferries are of a high standard. Many shipping companies offer their services with a modern and elegant fleet. Even better, all Greek islands are linked to the mainland, and there is a regular service between them, too, so you can enjoy an entertaining and easy island-hopping holiday.

Aegean and Argosarosikos islands and Crete are linked mainly with Piraeus and Rafinas port.
The Ionian Islands are linked with Patras, Killinis, Igoumenitsa, and Astakos port.
