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 boats 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
babies 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 cat 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.
