Flying is faster. Check out the two local airlines Aegean and Olympic air. Although they don’t make island-bound trips every day, they can turn that all-day boat ride into a 45 minute hop. They cost more but are still generally quite a bargain especially considering the time saved out of a ten-day vacation.<\/p>\n
If youre tight on time consider flying to some of the islands rather than ferrying for a long haul. If youre trying to get far it will short circuit a lot of the time spent on a boat, Alexis Averbuck, an author of Lonely Planet guides to Greece. To me its worth springing the extra just to get you where you want to go if time is tight.<\/p>\n
Finally, inland travel means trains and, mostly, buses. Prices range widely depending on where you’re headed, whether it’s an overnight trip to Delphi or a long road to the Peloponnese. Choose trains\u00a0wherever possible, as the buses tend to serve local routes and stop frequently. <\/p>\n
