On this page you can find all the information you need to choose and book a ferry to Dodecanese islands, but for the latest prices and sailings for the islands please use our booking form above.
Dodecanese is connected with the Greek mainland (Athens from Piraeus port), Crete, the Cyclades, Samos, Ikaria as well as some ports in neighboring Turkey. It is considered one of the most popular destinations, therefore it is served by many companies like Blue Star Ferries, Dodekanisos Seaways, Aegeon Pelagos, Sebeco Lines, Alko Shipping, Sea Dreams, Saos Ferries, Manousos Georgios and Exas Shipping Service.
If you go to a non central agency may have to pay a small fee to get your ticket - normally a couple of Euros.
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.
If you are travelling on 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 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.
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.
