• Plan to arrive at the port at least 30 minutes before your scheduled departure. This gives you enough time to find your ferry, check in, and settle into your seat or cabin.
• In peak season (July and August), ferries run frequently but popular departures can fill up quickly. It’s wise to book your tickets at least a few days in advance to secure your spot.
• Remember that this route is seasonal. Ferries do not operate outside the March to October period, so plan your travels accordingly.
• Pack some snacks and water for the journey. While there are usually onboard amenities, having your own provisions ensures you stay refreshed and energised throughout the trip.
• Dress in layers. The Aegean Sea can be breezy, so bring a light jacket or sweater to stay comfortable on deck. Don’t forget your sunglasses and a hat for protection from the sun.
• If you’re prone to seasickness, consider taking medication beforehand or choosing a seat with a good view of the horizon to help alleviate symptoms.
