CYCLADES ISLAND HOPPING
Part of the trick of sculpting an itinerary through the islands is learning which fer-
ries go where, and when.And beware, in low season services are reduced or nonex-
istent on some routes.In high season, a host of companies offer connections
throughout the Cyclades. Check schedules at
www.greekferries.gr
or
www.openseas.gr
.
Buy tickets online, directly from the company, or at local ticket
agencies (though agents often represent only some of the companies...ask
around). For example:
