Tips for the Leros to Vathy ferry
- Snacks in your bag reduce dependency on the onboard cafeteria and save money – nuts, crackers, fruit, and chocolate travel well.
- Sunscreen and insect repellent are both considerably cheaper at a supermarket before you board than at island resort shops; stock up on the mainland.
- 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.
- If you are comparing ferry versus flying between islands, factor in port transfer times at each end – ferries are often more time-efficient for short hops.
- Arrive at the port at least 30 minutes before departure – boarding closes shortly before sailing time.
