Frequently asked questions for Santorini to Kos ferries

Can I get an e-ticket for ferries on this route?

Where can I collect my tickets?

In the port of Santorini, you will find ticket booths for all the ferry companies. If you see a booth is closed when you arrive, don't worry, it will open before your ferry arrives. You can also get your ticket printed in Thira town where you will find plenty of agencies. Go to a central agency and you won't pay to have your ticket printed. There will be a sign outside the door or you'll be referred there by the agency.

If you go to a non-central agency may have to pay a small fee to get your ticket - normally a couple of Euros.

Can I take my dog or cat with me?

Yes, you can take your dog or other pet on the ferry but it isn't possible to book a space in the kennel in advance. All Greek ships by law must have some kennel space.

On conventional ferries
If you are traveling on the conventional ferry (not a fast ferry or catamaran) there is normally space available in the kennels and you should also be able to have your dog on all deck areas (but not inside) with you. Strictly speaking, this is at the discretion of the ferry company but in general you should have no issues - though please take a muzzle with you just in case and keep your dog on a leash at all times. Small sized dogs and cats can travel in the ship as long as they stay inside a special travel box.

The other option, for absolute peace of mind, is to book a pet cabin. These are like normal cabins but have linoleum flooring. They are also available for day crossings at reasonable prices. This way you don't have to worry about finding space in the kennels and you and your dog or cat can relax. In July and August ferries can get very busy with people and other dogs.
On fast ferries or catamarans
Fast ferries and catamarans will also have kennels but these will be limited in number. In addition, the majority of fast ferries (though there are exceptions) don't have open deck space accessible throughout the journey, so you will not be able to stay out with your pet during your crossing. However, if your pet is small and inside a travel box you will be able to keep him or her inside.

Can I pay by PayPal or debit card?

Can I take my bicycle with me and what do I have to do?

You can take your bike with you for free Santorini to Kos if you travel on large ships such as those from the company Blue Star Ferries. However, on ships without a garage, bicycles are normally not allowed inside. You'll see if the ship has a garage when making your reservation. Santorini can be busy in the summer so it is a good idea to tell a member of the port staff that you have a bike in case you might need extra assistance.

Details of Review

An old style ferry but comfortable. Could do with a rennovation. Nice restaruant on board. Not too expensive which is a nice change for ferries. Only about 40 minutes late on arrival. Which is good for Greece. Would recommend. A lot cheaper than flying and probably quicker too if you have to go back to Athens.
