GREEK FERRIES - PRICES & SEATS | Athens to Mykonos, Hellenic Seaways | Greece Travel Vlog

- Today we travel from Athens to Mykonos on a Greek ferry, Hellenic Seaways. Ferries in Greece are common to reach the islands but...⬇ Click 'Show More' ⬇
We're leaving Athens and bound for Mykonos, heading over on a Hellenic Seaways ferry to see what the experience on those Greek ferries is all about! We struggled to find any travel vlogs on the ferry process, costs, timings and experience online so decided we'd pick up the camera and create our own vlog as we jumped on the ferry in Athens.
Hellenic Seaways in 2018 was a decent ferry, price was reasonable to purchase the ticket but the food on board was ridiculous, the costs were silly over priced. Paying for seats on the ferry seems like the best option, the other guests were stuck on the outside and mega uncomfortable.
Check back for our next Mykonos video! But for now, our review on the Greek ferry experience was pretty decent - travel was easy and for the most part the trip was painless.

Curious how we travel all over the world and just work from our laptops?? danegerandstacey.com/travel-full-time
This is a very useful video...preparing to vacation in Greece with our 2 small kids so very happy for the ferry info.
Happy to hear that! Enjoy your trip 👍🏼
When we were young years ago, we used to travel to the islands on the decks with sleeping bags. There were special techniques developed by experience on finding the right place to spend the night without the wind on οur faces. We knew exactly the kind of clothes we had to have in order not to be cold. We used to despise the people who sat inside or traveled first class or even worse rented cabins. The fun we had, the flirting, the laughter, the songs! Such amazing memories! And of course the food had to be brought in from outside. :)
Is this between the greek islands? Thats crazy and aweesome!
Daneger and Stacey exactly. This is still the travel between the lesser known islands of the small Cyclades. Take care.
Omg that pool looks insane!! What a cool video guys! Greece is incredible 🙈😱
It's PARADISE!
Looks beautiful! Really looking forward to seeing more of Greece!
That was the fun of it....Greek island hopping and deck class, we considered it as an experience and not a hassle, that's the mindset you need to have when travelling the islands.....Aaaa the memories of our younger years.🇬🇷🛳️🇬🇷
Thats definitely a good way to think about it!
That house is unreal. The view 😍 I can't wait for the house tour! And I hope you're enjoying the holiday with your friends and family. And of course enjoy the wedding. Congrats to your sister Stacey!
We're having the most amazing time, very hard to film, but we'll pull something together to show what we've been up to and how cool it is!
Greece is awesome and breathtaking 👍
It really is!
I appreciate all the useful pro tips!! Planning a trip to Greece and am so glad I stumbled upon your videos.
Love Mykonos, its my favourite place in the world. Used to go there every year.
If you have the opportunity, go to Platis Gialos Beach. Restaurants and Taverns right next to the beach. All of them are amazing!
We're LOVING IT!
Awesome guys!! It looks incredible there! Thanks for the suggestion on Plovdiv over Sofia! We loved it there so much more! Cool bunk beds!
Plovdiv is definitely the better spot huh! Glad you enjoyed
This vlog was awesome!! Mykonos is so beautiful. Oooh love that your sister is getting married in Santorini. Happy travels!!
Mykonos is stunning! We're in heaven! We'll share more in the next one :) Nice to see ya back.
Daneger and Stacey It so is!! I've always been here 😂😂 just giving all the new peeps space lol but still here chilling 🤣
Love Greece. Just came back from Kefalonia island. Stunning place and not overcrowded. Enjoy the views:)
Stunning isnt it!!
Went to gre3k islands in late 80s lol Cephalonia Spetses Hydra Skiathos but then was drachma and soooo cheap was lovely now want to ho back but see how expensive it is x
Such an informative video! Thanks for making and uploading :) You guys got yourself a new sub!
Appreciate that - thanks
Great video guys. Lots of informations I was looking for, thank you.
You're welcome
That circular bread is called koulouri and it's very popular as a snack on the go.
Saved us on this travel day for sure!
I just caught up on the last 2 vlogs and I wanted to say congrats on reaching 50k 🎉 I'm delighted for you guys, all deserved with a lot more of these milestones to celebrate in the future because your vlogs are the best!!
Thanks so much! Thats a lovely comment
Nice video. Next time, buy your coffee and pastery at a harbor's coffee shop, for 1 or 1,5€ and then get on the ship.
Hey guys it's nice to see you guys in greece, I just came back from there, yes greece is beautiful, has the food, good weather beaches and lifestyle, just enjoy yourselves as each island has its own beauty. Just be very wary of Mykonos and Santorini, expect to pay rip off prices for everything in prime locations, there's no real value for money on these popular islands, so look at the menu's for prices. And watch out for the double menu, one for the tourists and one for the Greeks. Enjoy your stay and go with the flow
That was one crowded ferry! You did right to spend the little extra - sometimes its about value for money rather than just going for the lowest price. The new pad looks amazing - cliffhanger ending indeed!
Congratulations for your sister, Stacey!!!! 💍❤👫
Have fun with all the family and thank you both for sharing this!
This looks like..oaw! Definetly a very nice experience! 😊
Enjoy! 😇
Awww thank you!
I took a ferry to Aegina twice. Very easy system to use!! 👍😊
that view is just epiiiic Oo
Great video guys! So interesting to see the ferry! I have just been to Athens but never to Mykonos! can't wait to see your Mykonos video! keep on creating, you got a new subscriber!
I'm a coffee lover, but I wouldn't pay that much for one. Taking food and a drink is a good tip in general, if you go on public transport. You see Mercedes taxi's all over Portugal, and they're not too expensive. I'm envious of where you're staying now, but Santorini has been at the top of my visit list for years. Maybe one day ;-)
We're definitely not paying that much for the coffees again, thats for sure. The small shop we did was worth while before hand, we'll be doing that again before catching a ferry again!
+Daneger and Stacey americans pay more than that for crap starbucks everyday
Great job in the place with that beautiful ocean view.
I performed in a tour back in 1971 to Athens and several other places in Greece.
What sort of performance? That’s amazing, might have changed a little since though 😂
I was with a group called the Duquesne University Tamburitzans. We did Balkan and Slavic folk material normally, and for the European tours we did all kinds of American folk and period pieces from Texas Knockdowns, to American Polkas, Alaskan Eskimo Dances, and all the way up to Rock n' Roll.
Damn! Sounds like you guys did it all - bet that was an epic tour
Hey guys, it's been a while since I commented but I am on my way to work doing doubles this wknd... Tiiired but I am still watching and I am soooo happy u guys r growing... Yaaaas!!, love all the new collabs with endless (love them too) keep collating its Def given u a boost in number. I would love to seee you with Mark weins or mikey chen collabs oooor? Anyway let me know when u r in Harlem offer still stands to show u around.. Bar crawl Def with food keep up the great work. Hey u guys ever think about Senegal.. Amazing and Mali noo one is really going there
Hope the doubles are going well! Yeah we love crossing paths with friends, but havent really been in the right spot all that frequently to make it happen - hopefully we'll meet some more people in the next few months . to share :)
Nice and cute and so so helpful-) thanks guys .
That pool is so beautiful 😍 there. Good thing you guys paid the extra especially after the weather got bad. T
Hey guys not long back (to Oz) from a trip to Santorini. We travelled by the same ferry company from Piraeus to Santorini. Great trip.
Keep up the vlogs - they’re great. Do you mind sharing the video editing software you use? Cheers Gerard (Melbourne)
Thanks Gerard! Pretty comfortable and enjoyable trip isn't it - hope you had a great time. We use Final Cut, but you can see all our equipment etc on our site if you're curious: danegerandstacey.com/our-equipment/
this looks awesome! really enjoyed this vlog!
Notice that, after Coronavirus the ship (Nissos Mykonos) changed ferries
Hellenic seaways->Blue star
Time to get back to our islands!!!🌅
Definitely want to visit Greece again soon!
It's been awhile.
Mykonos looks great .
Do we see the rooms, the pool is amazing.
I like those island ferries.
Good to see you back down here :) new video in a few hours will show ya how epic it is!
Mykonos is a barren rock where the wind blows and blows! Overpriced, overrated, and yet it is a party island but only during the summer months. Go there in the winter and you won't find anything open and you will see no people walking around! We have so many beautiful islands, I don't know why Mykonos gained popularity. Syros is barren too but at least it has winter time life. Santorini on the other hand it is amazing like another planet, like a lost civilization... it is a volcano and the city it's built on the top of the crater (what is left of it. the rest is under the sea together with its caldera)
Tend to agree with you in a lot of ways there, Mykonos doesnt really offer much you can't find else where for cheaper and or more beautiful
So normally a Freddo espresso , is ice cubes and shot of espresso , then they use some kind of milk shaker to crush the ice cubes which gives u the creamy texture on top.
Freddo Cappuccino is basically the same idea , just this time u just shake the milk and put that on top of your espresso .
And then there is frappé which a lot of Greeks drink , but that’s pre packed stuff from Nestle and then they also put it in a shaker , but that is no “real” coffee ...
Anyway , great video !
The boast prices are exorbitant! Unfortunately, getting around the islands by boat is the cheapest way - but it isn't cheap anymore! I took ''upper-deck'' a few times and had a blast.Plenty of people moving around the islands as cheap as possible.
Have fun...but not too much 👍👍
Yeah it's a little silly now isnt it, everything is so incredibly overpriced! You do sort of get what you pay for with accom etc, but 4 euro coffees are a joke!
I agree with you about the 4 euro coffee. Because it's a ship, and you're in the ''happy holiday'' mood, you don't mind spending - until the end of the holiday you watch one of your videos to know you've been ripped of.Did I say ripped off?....Or did I mean to say that all tourists are stupid and pay the price? Happy travels and keep the adventure alive.
''Am I buggin' ya? I don't mean to bug ya....''
Thank you so much for this!
You're back in Vietnam? thought you went back to the PH!
But I am a digital nomad and I need a faster internet connection. You know I can't get that back in the PH :( bohoo. On the bright side, I can binge watch your videos from here, loop it, rape the replay button. Life is good especially with VN coffee.
You, guys, complete yourself so good. Wonderful couple!
Lovely comment, thanks!
Very nice guys thank you for the information can't wait for more vlogs you two are great
Thanks! New one live in a few hours
Hey what hotel is that I’m actually planing to go to Santorini and Mykonos next summer
OMG i love Greece so much! Especialy Mykonos!!! Santorini for one night, comme si comme ca :) but Mykonos is awesome!
Mykonos villa vlog dropping in a few hours time!
hi dane and stacey!... i hope you do enjoy you travel here in greece!.. i have been a subscriber since your philippines vlogs and i would love to have a meet and greet with you guys!.. i live in Kalamata, another beautiful destination 3 hrs away from athens, so if you have 2 days to spare it would be lovely to see you and hopefully give you a tour around...
Hey Kathleen! That would have been so lovely, sadly we're at the mercy of the wedding party on this one so everything is all booked up for Greece. Maybe next time :)
Oh, i see.. I hope you have a lovely time at the wedding then ♥️
Thank God for making this vid. Will go to greece next week and there is no vid like this. How long is your stay in greece?
Thanks for commenting that - we found exactly the same so wanted to share the experience! We've got about 10 days all up.
Will not cross paths anymore. Would be cool if we do
love greece and greek food
Did you or anyone you saw get seasick??? Do these ships rock a lot ??? We are going soon and I'm so nervous I'd be seasick if it's rocking a lot. Thanks for the help !!:)
No problems with rocking at all - you should be fine
How amazing! Thank you for sharing 🙌🏽
Very nice country! ! ! ! 😊👍👍👍💪💪💪
Hey thanks for the well presented and informative vid. Would just like to ask if you bought your tickets in advance and if so what website?
Ｓｏ ｂｅａｕｔｉｆｕｌ ａｎｄ ｎｉｃｅ
So much easier and quicker to fly to Santorini or Mykonos from Athens and cheap if you book in advance. Then take ferries to island hop to the smaller islands close by. Enjoy your family get together!!!
We actually don't agree - flights are a pain in the ass from small airports, extra baggage costs, hot and crammed, always delayed and less comfortable. Price wise they generally end up about the same and take a very similar amount of time, but flying has more fluff with checking in and security etc.
Are you going to meet with Endless Adventure ?
Bcs they are also in Greece!!🤗
There videos are a little behind, don't think they're there any more :)
Daneger and Stacey ahh at least i know now😔
From where did you book for tickets ? Are there any specific site?
Very nice...
Are these ferry operational in winter months... February??
appreciate the tips. especially upgrading the seating. How much was the first class?
We can't recall now sorry! Thought we would have put it in the video?
Nice Thanks
If time is not a question, is it worth the time on the boat over a plane trip?
We'd say still take the ferry. Plane might only be 1 hour but checking in, delays, early arrival, chaotic airports here etc = more hassle, dollars and pain
I'm Going By Ferry Just For The View.
That was fun!!!
Loved this vlog, views look amazing! Is it just me or does the place you are staying look very similar to where Flying The Nest stayed before their wedding in Greece? Is it the same place?!
A lot of the villas do look similar, but we're bit sure, maybe it is?!
What is the place with the cool pool called? Wanna stay there too! :O
What do you do with your luggage while on the boat?
Will you visit Croatia? Drive the Jadranska Magistrale....
Yup - Croatia is next after a few days in Budapest
Μπράβο παιδιά 👍
What about the departure time? Were there delays or were you pretty much on schedule?
Surprisingly it left on time!
Guys you didn't do the Athens food tour or the acropolis, you left the main highlight out of greece, Athens has great food, you need to try the food in the villages as the food is the best
We've been to Acropolis before and explored Athens a lot in the past (pre UA-cam) so were just passing through this time :)
How to go about finding your ferry at the dock? The ferry dock looks pretty big with many ferries. How far is the subway station to the dock? You didn't explain these issues on the videos.
They’re not issues Sean - something’s are shown, not explained 👍🏼 the stop is right opposite the terminal and there’s enormous signs everywhere for ferries. Very easy.
The train station is next to the port
Just ask a docker and you ll' be fine
@@Nektaris_Ikariotakis I have made up my mind to go to Greece next year. I am getting my passport renewed. Do you think anything will be back to normal next spring?
Which company has the fastest ferry (Greek islands) thank you :)
Which we could help more, but it's been years since we visited and so much has changed
Hey been a while since I watched busy with school
Welcome back... and into FIRST COMMENT 🏆
Hello there! Quick question... where did you buy your tickets for Hellenic Seaways ferry? Is there an app you used or a website?
Well you can book tickets online in the ferry's website or you can buy tickets from agencies which you can find all over the Athens and inside the port too
Did you book in advance? I read that in august its peak season and need to book in advance
We found some random online site, don't recall sorry, ferryhopper perhaps, and booked a month or so ago
Did you buy the ferry tickets in advance or got them at the dock?
We got them online in advance, it can be pretty hectic on site on the day so best to book them
Daneger and Stacey thank you so much ♥️
Thanks for this video. : )
Whoops just checked below! Final Cut Pro...cheers no reply needed. Gerard
Oh haha there ya are again, just responded to the other one
New subie here✋what budget hotel did you stay in athens???
Hey Deborah! You can see it at the end of this video: ua-cam.com/video/jsoKOrYSpm0/v-deo.html Think it was Airbnb, let us know if you want the details and we can dig them out
Which site do you guys look for a place to stay?
Our family booked this place, so we're not sure, but we always use Airbnb or Booking. We've got discount codes for both of them in our video description
goodmorning!!!!!!!
Cool
Tip: it`s not that expensive as far as i have encountered several ferries. you just need to order frapé and you`ll be fine :). Also, mykonos is overrated, visit paros or ios for a more remote and just as good as an expierience!
Agree... Mykonos is overrated, but we got a villa away from the chaos and it was awesome
Food and coffee inside the ship? Next time you have to ask. Oh yeah you learn now!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haha yeah we figured it would be bad, but not that silly expensive
what hotel was that and how much?
What name of song 7:57
Bellissime
450? or 4.50?
How does Luggage work?
You wheel it on, chuck it in one of the luggage bays (or keep it with you) and then you get off. Easy.
Hi may i ask how can book the ferry thank you
We just booked locally but you may be able to book online 😊
there is a reason why when you buy something in ridiculously high price in Greece it is called boat purchase or boat price.
Sadly, yup!
@Nicos Frangeskou I'd say that Starbucks coffee is much better than the stuff they usually sell on boats.
Nice
Nice to see New Zealand perspective for once instead of all the Americans butchering the names in Greece 😂😂👍
Appreciate that, Gerry. Keep well and thanks for the positivity 👍🏼
What fascinates me more about tourism is that even though we study a lot in order to be prepared, in most of cases we will do things that locals wont.
For Ex. You bought coffee and Koulouri from Everest (first mistake) and inside the vessel (second mistake).
This combination is almost dangerous my friend hahaha.
I make the same little mistakes when I travel abroad.
I know that not all people care about these little tips but please do not buy anything inside vessels which are heading to greek islands.
Bad quality - high price.
Please dont let them fool y.
I hope you had great time in Greeece. cheeeers
Oook it's Kelly nyc
Rule No1: Never buy stuff from a ship store!
just doing research for after this corona shit is over. This was my initial plan before all this.
Hope you can get there soon
Nice yar
Cute
1st :D
Nooo think you were actually 3rd! 🥉
this was not full of information...it was just a ferry vlog..
It's not a presentation or documentary... it's a ferry vlog with information in it.
@@DanegerAndStacey I hear ya, I just found it lean on information and more vlog.
Nice Thanks
