Tips for the Patmos to Vathy ferry
- Very calm sea conditions – glassy water and no swell – are common in early June and late September. These are the most comfortable times to cross the open Aegean.
- The ship's tannoy system uses a chime before announcements; listen for the three-tone signal that precedes important information about arrivals or delays.
- E-tickets are accepted on virtually all Greek ferry routes – you do not need to print a paper ticket unless stated otherwise.
- Prices on Greek ferry routes are generally fixed by the operator – unlike airlines, there is no dynamic pricing that rewards booking at odd hours.
