For those planning vacation in Greece - Visit five islands for EUR 90 with new ferry pass

If you want to spend a month hopping between sun-soaked Greek islands, a new ferry pass will make it easier to get between more than 50 different spots.

The Eurail Greek Islands Pass is the only pass that offers ferry trips in the Greek Islands, and it has now been extended to cover travel between 53 islands, up from 28. Travellers can visit 21 islands in the Cyclades, and 12 islands in the Dodecanese, three islands in the Sporades, seven in the Saronic Islands, nine in the Northeast Aegean Islands, and Crete.

There are two different options for the passes. One offers six trips in one month, which costs EUR 175, which includes two trips between Italy (Venice, Ancona, or Bari) and Greece (Patras or Igoumenitsa), as well as four domestic trips.

There is also a pass for five trips in one month, which costs EUR 90 and applies exclusively to domestic ferries within Greece.

Travellers can get the pass, but will also need a boarding pass for each ferry, which can be picked up at the port. Making reservations for the ferry is also necessary, particularly during the busy summer period. If you want to reserve a seat or bed, it should be done at least one month in advance, Lonely Planet writes.
