Tips for the Arki to Agia Marina ferry
- Alcohol makes seasickness worse; if the crossing is rough, stick to water and plain foods.
- Summer heat makes sun-exposed upper decks very intense between 11:00 and 16:00; bring sunscreen with a high SPF and a hat even for short crossings.
- Arriving on the early morning short hop gives you the quietest version of any popular island beach – you will beat the crowds by several hours.
- Wind on open deck is a reliable form of air conditioning in summer – many Greeks head straight to the deck rather than the air-conditioned saloon.
