It’s every traveler’s dream to visit the islands of Santorini and Mykonos . A ferry ride makes it possible to joggle a low budget and meet fellow travelers along the way.

Santorini or Thira?

Nick August 12, 2010 at 6:21 am: Thanks for the info cristine, it’s weird that hue sites only say the 7th to santorini, why is this? You must be in the know

Nick
Cristina August 16, 2010 at 6:24 am: @Nick: I get all info from a ferry booking site (which is linked at the top of the article, so you can check yourself)
Kira August 20, 2010 at 6:36 am: the price it’s for one way only?
Cristina August 21, 2010 at 12:21 pm: @Kira: yes, just double the price for a return trip
Nick August 26, 2010 at 3:22 am: Thanks for all your help Cristina! One last question all the site say that the ferry from Mykonos to santorini is “not available” for the 08 of sep, does that mean it’s booked out already or would we still be sweet to get tickets when we get there.

Thanks heaps!!
Nick
Cristina August 26, 2010 at 4:01 am: @Nick: I did the same search and it shows as fully booked already. So you cannot get tickets for that ferry online (might try your luck in the port). You can book tickets on any of the ferries departing on Sept 9 though.
