The main ferry lines in Greece (maps and tips)

Greece Ferry Boats

You can travel with your own car from continental Europe to many of the Greek islands, starting with Crete and Santorini, which are some of the biggest tourist attractions. You can occasionally drive your own car to Rhodes using ferries from Athens, but this destination is more easily accessible via Turkey.

Destinations for which the ferry is recommended:

Crete - given the very large size of the island and the large number of tourist attractions spread throughout the island, your own car can provide you with excellent mobility. The main port of arrival on the island is Chania, and from here you can visit the main beaches in the north-west of the island, the archaeological area in the central area, the south with old Orthodox monasteries. Also, in the south you can choose to travel the distance between Agia Roumeli and Loutro by ferry (but you also have a road route as an alternative).

Other important destinations with ferry access are the island of Santorini (possibly ancient Atlantis), as well as the Cyclades - Naxos (the old capital from the Venetian period), Mikonos, Andros, Ios, Milos, Paros, Tinos. Some of the 38 islands have special historical value, others are very pleasant as a beach and relaxation destination or particularly picturesque.
