Unfortunately according to the Greek law you can not buy your ferry tickets on board nor can you receive them at the ferry entrance. Without tickets you won't be permitted to embark.
All ferry tickets are paper tickets and there isn't any e-ticket available for any of the ferry lines.
You need your paper ticket at hand in order to embark. Without the actual paper ticket you will not be allowed to enter the ferry even you have your reservation reference or your ticket number.
The ticket control at ports is not as strict as at the airports so you will not face any problems even if your name is not correctly spelled on the ticket
Although port authorities do not ask for an official ID in order to permit ferry embarkation you are advised to carry your passport or any other form of official identification during your journey.
Most of the ferry companies offer different fares according to the age of the passenger. During your reservation you will be asked to specify the age category of each passenger:
Adults are considered all passengers older than 10 years old.
Children are considered passengers among 5 and 10 years old.
Infants are considered passengers younger than 5 years old.
All companies have discounted tickets for children (usually half price) and infants travel free of charge. Some companies also have other discounts such as University Students' ticket (the beholder should be a student at a Greek University). When there is a discount, it appears at step 3 (pricing). Military or other special categories' tickets can not be booked through the internet.
Deck/Economy
This class is located in the lounge or on the deck and there are no numbered seats. In economy class there are usually less comforts and that is why it is cheaper. In some boats such as high-speed and flying dolphins (hydrofoils), economy class seats are numbered.
Bus seats
These are bus type numbered seats.
Business
This class is located in a lounge with non numbered seats. These seats are more comfortable than economy's and there is more space.
VIP
These are luxurious seats in a better equipped lounge. The seats are more comfortable and more spacious.
Cabins
Cabins can be internal or external. Internal cabins are found at the inner part of the boat and have no windows, while external are at the side parts of the boat and have windows. Cabins are divided into categories depending on the comfort and luxury provided. You can book a whole cabin (double, triple or quadruple) or just a bed and share the cabin with other passengers of the same gender.
In most cases you will not get a better price for a round trip.
