Tips for the Mytilini to Vathy ferry
- If you need to change your ticket, it is usually cheaper to do so online than at the port ticket office, where a handling fee may apply.
- Port kiosks and cafes are often the only food option before boarding – if you have dietary requirements, eat before you arrive.
- Deck class on an overnight route can mean sleeping across several chairs in the saloon; it works but is not restful – an assigned reclining seat is much better.
