Greek Island Hopping Made Cheap Thanks To New Pass

Planning your summer getaway to the Greek islands? Thanks to a new pass offered by Attica ferries and the affordable train service, the Interrail Greek Islands Pass allows guests to hop on and off ferries and discover 4 from a selection of 27 Greek islands across the Aegean sea. Those who want to add on more destinations have the option of doing so with a 30 percent discount.

The travel pass, which was launched in 2015, aimed to entice visitors to island hop using the Superfast Ferries. Included in the 27 different islands to choose from are Anafi, Amorgos, Astypalaia, Chios, Crete, Donoussa, Ios, Iraklia, Kalymnos, Kastellorizo, Kos, Koufonissi, Leros, Lesvos (Mytilene), Lipsi, Mykonos, Naxos, Nisyros, Patmos, Paros, Rhodes, Santorini, Schinoussa, Symi, Syros, Tilos and Tinos.

Holders of the pass are also offered a choice of 2 international ferry trips between 3 ports in Italy: Ancona, Bari, or Venice and 3 ports in Greece: Corfu, Patras and Igoumenitsa.

The pass costs just 240€ for first class travel, and 172€ for second class for adults over 25 years, with prices slashed for those who are under 25 years of age to 210€ for first class and 156€ for second class, whereas children under 11 years of age travel for free.
