Tips for the Psara to Mytilini ferry
- Student discounts exist on many Greek ferry routes; carry your student card and select the correct fare category when booking.
- Never put valuables (passport, wallet, phone, camera, medication) in your main luggage – keep them in your day bag on your person at all times.
- Early morning arrivals (05:00–08:00) mean you can often watch the vessel manoeuvre into a harbour as the island wakes up – one of the best ways to see a new place.
- Where a route has both a slow overnight ferry and a fast daytime catamaran, consider whether speed or cost matters more – the conventional ferry is usually significantly cheaper.
- Smoking is not permitted inside ferry terminals or on board vessels in enclosed areas; designated smoking areas are usually at the stern on open deck.
