Very useful. Thanks. The only thing is that there is no date of this article. Hopefully this is not an old information.
Thanks for the comment! All information is valid at the moment. I’m going to update my English pages very soon (mainly add more info or explain better) and I’ll add a date too
A really helpful site. Thanks to whoever compiled it.
You are welcome! Thank you for visiting.
Please inform me if the reduced ticket for senior passengers apllies to tourists also. Thank you
Yes, it applies to everyone.
Hi Alex,
After visiting OASA and not finding the info I needed, I came here because I knew you would have what I needed.
Also wanted to add that Piraeus is missing a letter, and don’t forget to add the “Buy 10, get one free” ticket paketos that have been offered since January 1.
Thanks Kat! It seems I always misspell “Piraeus’, why isn’t it called “Pireas” anyway?
This page needs rewriting (to add more info and explain better) and I’m going to do it one of these days
