Question Hi Denny. Denny here.
I am looking for some help with the logistics of an Island hopping trip we are planning. We will be ariving in Athens at 8 p.m. on Thursday June 28, looking to depart for some islands on Friday night June 29 or Saturday morning June 30.
We will be flying back out of Athens on Sunday, July 8. Our ideal island hop is from Athens to Crete, Santorini, Ios, Mykonos. Is this possible? I haven't been able to find transportation from Crete to Santorini to continue this loop, it appears to only go back to Piraeus. We would only need a day or two on each island in our short trip but would love to hit these all.
Answer Yiasou Denny, thanks for the question,
I will have to confirm this but as far as I know there is a ferry that leaves in the early morning...6:AM Boarding,
from Heraklion, Crete and gets to Santorini in about 5-hours, costs around 20-euro. This ferry makes the trip 5-days a week. Monday and thursday use to be down days. However, everyyear does offer changes in schedules...Let me get back to you on that.
Will also check on the other avenues of your journey...but I believe at this moment there are daily runs by ferry; regular and/or Flying Dolphin between each place.
Back atcha in 24-hours I hope...traveling at moment and not in reach of my regular computer.
