-30% on ferry tickets for Greece - Italy

30% discount on Greek domestic ferry tickets with Greece - Italy bookings

Travellers planning a ferry journey between Greece and Italy can reduce the overall cost of their trip by combining their international ferry booking with an additional ferry journey within Greece.

A 30% discount on eligible Greek domestic ferry tickets is available when the domestic journey is combined with a ferry booking on a Greece - Italy or Italy - Greece route, provided that the conditions set by the ferry company are met.

This offer can be particularly useful for passengers arriving in Greece from Italy and continuing their journey to a Greek island, as well as for travellers departing from a Greek island before travelling onwards to Italy.

What is the 30% discount on combined Greece - Italy trips?

The offer connects two separate ferry journeys:

1. An international ferry journey between Greece and Italy.
2. A domestic ferry journey within Greece.

The international ticket is issued according to the applicable fare and any discounts the passenger is entitled to, while an eligible domestic ferry ticket can receive a 30% discount.

One of the key conditions is that the international and domestic ferry tickets must be issued together, according to the rules of the ferry company.

Who can benefit from the 30% discount?

The offer is designed for passengers combining an international ferry crossing with an additional journey within Greece.

For example, it may be useful for travellers who:

1. Travel from Italy to Patras and then continue to a Greek island.
2. Travel from Italy to Igoumenitsa and continue their journey within Greece.
3. Travel from a Greek island to Piraeus and then continue to Patras or Igoumenitsa before sailing to Italy.
4. Arrive in Greece from Italy and continue by ferry to the Cyclades, Dodecanese, North Aegean islands, Saronic Gulf or Crete, where the ferry company's offer applies.

For Superfast Ferries and Anek Lines, the discount is linked to Adriatic Sea bookings and applies to eligible domestic ferry services operated within Greece.

Does the 30% discount also apply to cars?

Yes. Under the Superfast Ferries/Anek Lines offer, the 30% discount can also apply to eligible vehicles, as well as passenger fares.

This can make the combined booking particularly attractive for families and travellers arriving from Italy with their own car and planning to continue their holiday on a Greek island.

Vehicle transport can represent a significant part of the total cost of a ferry journey. A 30% reduction on the eligible domestic vehicle fare can therefore result in considerable savings, especially on longer or multi-leg trips.

Examples of combined ferry journeys

A traveller could organise a journey such as:

Ancona - Patras + Piraeus - Naxos

or:

Bari - Igoumenitsa + Piraeus - Heraklion

The same concept can also be used in the opposite direction, starting from a Greek island and continuing towards Italy.

Travellers should keep in mind that the two ferry journeys are not necessarily connected at the same port.

For example, after arriving in Patras from Italy, passengers travelling to a Cycladic island may need to continue by road to Piraeus before boarding their next ferry.

For this reason, sufficient transfer time should always be allowed between the different parts of the journey.

Which ferry companies offer the 30% discount?

The 30% domestic ferry discount can be found in combined international and Greek ferry bookings offered by major ferry companies operating between Greece and Italy.

Superfast Ferries - Anek Lines

Superfast Ferries offers a 30% discount on eligible Greek domestic ferry routes when they are combined with a journey on an Adriatic Sea route.

The offer:

1. Applies to eligible passenger and vehicle fares.
2. Can apply to both the outbound and return domestic journey.
3. Requires the international and domestic ferry tickets to be issued together.
4. Cannot be combined with another discount on the same Greek domestic ticket.
5. Does not apply to certain additional charges, such as environmental surcharges and pet transportation fees.

The exact eligible routes and fare categories should always be checked before completing the booking.

Minoan Lines

Minoan Lines also provides a combined travel offer for passengers travelling between Greece and Italy and continuing their journey on an eligible domestic ferry route.

A 30% discount on the Greek domestic ferry ticket may be available when the international and domestic tickets are issued together and the conditions of the offer are met.

The routes, fare categories and availability of the discount can differ depending on the booking and travel period.

Do the two ferry bookings need to be made together?

Yes. This is one of the most important conditions of the offer.

The Greece - Italy ferry ticket and the eligible Greek domestic ferry ticket must be issued together as part of the combined booking, according to the ferry company's terms.

Travellers should not assume that they can first purchase an international ferry ticket and later add a separate Greek ferry journey while still receiving the same 30% discount.

For this reason, it is advisable to plan the complete itinerary before issuing the tickets.

Can the 30% discount be combined with other discounts?

The 30% discount on the domestic part of the journey is generally not cumulative with other Greek domestic ferry discounts, unless the fare conditions explicitly state otherwise.

If a passenger qualifies for several different reductions, the ferry company's fare rules determine which discount can be applied.

It is therefore important to compare the final price rather than focusing only on the percentage of each available offer.

In some cases, another passenger discount may result in a similar or better final fare.

What is not included in the 30% discount?

A 30% discount does not necessarily mean that the total booking price will be reduced by exactly 30%.

Certain additional charges may not be included in the discount.

Depending on the ferry company, these may include:

1. Fuel surcharges.
2. Environmental charges such as EU ETS-related fees.
3. Pet transportation charges.
4. Other mandatory supplements.

The final booking price is therefore determined by several factors, including:

1. Passenger fare.
2. Seat or cabin category.
3. Car or motorcycle transportation.
4. Mandatory surcharges.
5. Eligible discounts and promotional fares.

Why can a combined booking be a good choice?

For a simple ferry journey with only one crossing, the financial difference may be limited.

For a longer trip involving Italy, mainland Greece and a Greek island, however, ferry tickets can represent a significant part of the total travel budget.

The 30% discount on the eligible Greek domestic journey becomes even more valuable when a car is also included in the reservation.

A combined booking can also help passengers plan the full journey in advance and have a clearer picture of the overall ferry travel cost before departure.

How to organise a Greece - Italy and Greek island ferry trip

Before making your reservation:

1. Choose your departure port in Italy or Greece.
2. Find the most suitable international ferry route.
3. Decide which Greek island or port will be included in the next part of your journey.
4. Check whether the domestic and international routes qualify for the combined offer.
5. Allow enough time to travel between different Greek ports if necessary.
6. Include all passengers and vehicles from the beginning of the booking process.
7. Confirm that the 30% discount has been applied to the eligible Greek domestic journey before completing the booking.

Through booktickets.gr you can search available ferry routes, compare travel options and organise ferry journeys within Greece as well as connections between Greece and Italy.

Save 30% on the Greek part of your ferry journey

A ferry journey from Italy to Greece does not have to end in Patras or Igoumenitsa.

Travellers can continue towards the Cyclades, Crete, the Dodecanese, the North Aegean islands or another Greek destination.

With careful planning, the international and domestic ferry journeys can form part of the same travel itinerary while also offering a significant financial benefit.

The 30% discount on eligible domestic ferry tickets in Greece, when combined with a Greece - Italy ferry booking, is an offer worth checking before completing your reservation.

Terms, participating routes, fare categories and eligible vehicles can change, so the application of the discount should always be confirmed when the tickets are issued.
