Nice video
an extra tip about the port of Pireus. This port is huge with many Gates, so check your ticket about your ship's "Gate" before going there. The distance between Gates is big and if you have baggages with you it will be harsh to walk a long distance. Also there is a small bus inside the port that take you for free from Gate to Gate.
I just finished a 10 day vacation in Greece using a bunch of your guides and it was the best vacation I've ever had. Thank you so much! ❤
Thank you for everything you're doing on this channel. Your videos have been the most informative I've found- no one else even comes close!!! We were hoping to book your own tour in September, but it looks like you're taking a couple of months off. Our loss, but we truly appreciate all of your videos!
Glad I could help !
If you are on time poor look at sky express airplane tickets. They are both cheaper than the slow boat to Crete and Santorini saving me 8 hours and some change.This was for summer 2023
I've tried the ferry service to travel to a couple of the islands, and I've got to say, it's everybody for themselves if you are on the economy class tickets. Grab whatever seats available before they're taken!😅😅
You are awesome Sebastian, thank you so much
Great video, thank you! I am visiting Athens in August and we are planning to go to Naxos so this was all very informative and helpful ❤
Thank you so much! Very helpful video!
Thank you
Helpful and organised.
This will be used.
Thanks Sebastian, very informative 👏🏼
We used ferry's and one internal flight last year....Never had any issues...Will do the same again this year...
Really nice video! Just a tiny comment, the only day when there is a certain strike is the 1st May - the other days are public holidays but this doesn't affect ferries, in fact sometimes more ferries are added around Easter. Safe travels!
Thank you for the information! I love your videos. I have a question, you didn't mention when they actually scan your ticket. You mentioned the chaos that ensues when the ship arrives, will they scan my ticket in line or when we board the ship? Thank you
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. I DIDNT SEE THE LINK FOR THE E-BIKE TOUR THO
Yup I'm still working on it. It will be out shortly :-)
This year the timetables are changed, for example Zanne doesn't go like last year!, from Sifnos to Folegandros we had to buy expensive sea jet tickets via Milos- last year Zante went from Sifnos through Folegandros to Santorini. I'm afraid that next year the schedule will be even worse.you can see big savings, there are fewer and fewer cheaper ferries
Would be interested in know tips for bringing car in ferry
I had to laugh, there was a time when the Blue Stars were the fast boats! I remember the REALLY slow boats. That said, unless I'm in a hurry, I still prefer a slow cruise. Thanks for the app info. I've used the app for planning but wasn't aware that I can buy tix and get them on my phone. No more picking up paper tix sounds great. What affect has that had on island ticket sellers/travel agents?
Do you have any videos for Paros?
Hi :) Thank you for your videos they're excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wanted to ask is there a storage place in Fira that I can go online and reserve to put my suitcase there so i don't have to drag it up to Santorini? Like a baggage storage place.
Where exactly would you like to drop off your suitcase ? In Fira city or at the Ferry port ?
Not sure if this was mentioned or not but FYI they are often late.
You didn’t mention about cabins to sleep do they sell out quick like on the 31st aug
Yes they do
@@GreeceExplained so should I book it now for 31 August? Or do I still have time another month?
@@cinzia26767 You still have another month ;-)

I am a fellow Greek also. My is Scott Theodore . My original last name is " Theodoreanopolis. My Grandfather had it shortened when he came here from Athens ... My family has a long history in Athens and Crete . We also fought the Germans in WW2 ( courageously ) . Thanks, Scott .. I can't wait ..
I live every island in Greece and can't wait to visit them all. And climb through the mountains of Southern Crete and end up on the beach ..
" Love every island " ...
What is the cabin experience in the slow ferries? Can I take my luggage there?
Yes you can
Sounds like you learnt your English from the Americans!
Hi again :) wondering if you might drop a bit of info about your tours in athens. such as locations, cost, and can you take 1 person or only bigger groups? Thank you, AGAIN! :)
