Holiday Homes In The Greek Islands

By: Steve Woodward

Holidays villas in Greek Islands offer you the chance to explore some of the most beautiful and dramatic coastlines you can ever imagine. Actually getting to these islands after arriving in Athens is quite simple. Many people prefer to hop on one of the many ferries or hydrofoil boats in order to reach their destination.

Of all the ways of getting to your holiday destination this is the least expensive, but although, there are lots of services available the Greeks have some difficulty in keeping to their schedules. It is a good idea therefore when travelling to your holiday destination by this form of transport you arrive at the port from which you will be leaving in plenty of time. Also, when you arrive it is vital that you board the ferry or hydrofoil as soon as possible as they rarely wait around.

When you arrive at the port, you will find that all the boats offering to take you to the various Greek Islands have signs set up at the stern (rear) of the boat. These clearly show where the boat is going and at what times they are scheduled to depart. Often you will be able to see which boats are due to leave dock shortly by the amount of activity that is taking place around them.

As soon as you have seen the boat that you wish to leave on you just go up to the booth that is located in front of the boat of your choice and purchase a ticket. It is important to note that children under the age of six go for free and those who are aged 7 to 10 will only pay half the ticket price.

If you are going to be travelling to Rhodes, Crete or Lesvos it is crucial that you book yourself a cabin on the ferry. The journey time from the Greek mainland to one of these islands takes between 10 and 15 hours to complete. You have a choice between either booking a first, second or deck class cabin for the duration of the journey and if you can book it prior to actually arriving at the port.

Yes, the first class cabins do cost more but they are very comfortable and so could provide you with the ideal start to your vacation. Also, you do not have to spend hours queuing for a meal as they have their own private dining room.

If however the thought of spending so much time on a boat is not your idea of fun then why not get a ticket on the hydrofoils or high-speed catamarans instead. Although these reach their destinations much more quickly they do not offer the same levels of comfort and plus you may actually miss some really beautiful scenery as they speed across the water.

Yes, you can fly on from mainland Greece to your Greek Island destination, but if you really want to get your holiday off in the right frame, then taking a boat is perfect. Soon you will find yourself luxuriating by the side of your holiday villas in Greek Islands swimming pool, or enjoying a taste of what the island has to offer.
