Official travel information
Routes and connections can change by season. Confirm times and service directly with the operator before travelling.
How the numbers were counted
A port is a group of ferry terminals mapped in OpenStreetMap within 1 km of each other (groups named after the same settlement on the same island are joined, as in Patras). The name is the settlement or the island, not a terminal. A route calls at the port when one of its stops lies within 1.5 km of a terminal.
The page exists because the port is the main port of an island with a page, or OpenStreetMap routes call here, or it is the port of a city or town with a page and at least two mapped terminals. The remaining landings are listed on the page of their island or area.
Distances are straight lines. An airport is "across the water" when it is on another island, or on the mainland while the port is on an island (or the reverse); a bay that cuts into the coast does not count.
