Types of seats

 

Standard/economy seats are the most popular and affordable option. In conventional ferries, these seats are situated on the deck or in internal lounges and they are not numbered, so your ticket does not correspond to a specific seat. Therefore, in order to get a comfortable one, we recommend boarding the ferry as soon as possible.
Another option is the air-type seats, which are located in separate lounges. They are numbered, more comfortable, and the most affordable option among the seats you can reserve. For luxury travel, there are also Business/VIP seats, which are situated in a separate lounge and are more expensive.
There are only numbered seats in high-speed ferries, so a standard ticket corresponds to an air seat.

 

How to find your ferry in the port of Santorini (Athinios Port)

 
Athinios, the main port of Santorini

Athinios, the main port of Santorini

All ferries depart from Athinios Port, which is located 8 kilometers from Fira. Its location below the volcanic cliffs makes it one of the most picturesque ports in the Mediterranean.

Ferries to Folegandros arrive at Karavostasi Port, which is located 3.5 kilometers from Chora, the island's main town.

Santorini is highly popular with Greeks and foreigners alike, which may cause traffic around the port. For this reason, being there at least 1 hour before the official departure time is strongly recommended.

Luggage

 

Luggage policies in Greek ferries are quite flexible.
Most companies allow 40 kg or 0.5 cubic meters of luggage per passenger and provide a luggage storage area on each ferry. If you wish, though, you can take your luggage with you to the lounges or the deck (if available).
It is highly recommended that you leave bulky suitcases in the designated area and take only your personal belongings (wallet, keys, mobile phone, etc.) with you upstairs.

 

Traveling with a car

 

To take your car or motorbike with you to Folegandros, you need a vehicle ticket.
Drivers should be at the port 1 to 1.5 hours before the official departure time.
For safety reasons, entrance to the garage is not allowed during the crossing.
Note: Many car rental companies do not allow customers to ferry their vehicles. We recommend avoiding purchasing a vehicle ticket before contacting your car rental company.

 

Alternative ways to reach Folegandros

 

There is no airport in Folegandros, so the only way to reach the island is by taking the ferry. The nearest airport is that of Santorini, but Mykonos also boasts an international airport receiving direct flights from several European countries, so you can reach Mykonos first and take the ferry from there. Alternatively, you can fly to Athens and then sail from Athens to Folegandros.
