How do I book ferries with a Greek Islands Pass?

  • Updated

With a Greek Islands Pass, you can book your ferry reservations for free on the ferries your Pass includes. You book directly with the ferry company, not with us. Here’s how.

Travelling with a Global Pass or a Greece or Italy One Country Pass? See how to book ferries with your Pass. Looking for ferries outside Greece? You’ll find them on our benefits portal.
