Greek Beaches
Islands transport

Greece catamaran ferry

Blue Star Catamaran.

Hoping to go hopping between Greece beaches? Gone are the porous rust-buckets, welcome the huge car ferries with escalators and superb stabilisers, small fast noisy hydrofoils [for short distances], and - pick of them all - high speed catamarans. These ferries travel as fast as a train - well a lot faster than a British train obviously - with less noise, better seats, bigger windows and at a fraction of the cost. These comfortable, well-stabilised boats make Greek island hopping a dream, provided that the wind doesn't get up to much.
Book a couple of days before, but be flexible. If the ferry is cancelled at the last minute you may have to change to a slower vessel.
At best, circulating in an island group, island to island will take half an hour to 2 hours of flat calm, no puke comfort.
