Ferry from Greece to Aegean Islands

About Greece

Greece is a country in Southern Europe with the 11th longest coastline in the world, sharing borders with Albania, Macedonia, Bulgaria and Turkey, and with islands in the Aegean, Ionian and Mediterranean Seas. As one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations, the country’s fabulous beaches, whitewashed homes, historical sites and favourable climate attract huge numbers of visitors to its islands year round, though the majority arrive between April and October. Whether you arrive on the mainland by sea or by air, the majority of islands can only be reached by ferry. With the number of services on offer, as you may expect, Greek ferries are of a high standard and most ferry companies feature a modern and luxurious fleet. All Greek islands are linked to the mainland, some directly, some indirectly and island-hopping is great experience, not to be missed. Due to being a gateway to the islands, the Greek mainland is well connected to Italy across the Adriatic Sea too.

About Aegean Islands

The Aegean Islands are a group of islands in the Aegean Sea, most of which belong to Greece with the remainder belonging to Turkey. Located between the south and east side of the Greek mainland and to the west of Turkey, the Aegean Islands consist of seven groups, namely the north eastern Aegean Islands, Sporades, Euboea, Argosaronic Islands, Cyclades, Dodecanese and Crete. Islands in the Aegean Sea feature crystal blue waters, hot springs, fortress villages, rich history, delicious seafood and some of the most beautiful beaches in Greece. The Aegean Islands will no doubt offer those who visit the region a memorable and authentic experience. Like most island groups, travelling by ferry is the most popular and in many cases the only way to get in and to travel around and the region is served by numerous ferry companies connecting the vast number of ports.
