Terms and Conditions of the Greek Islands Pass
  • Only European residents can travel with an Interrail Pass. If you’re a non-European resident, you must purchase and travel with a Eurail Pass.

  • You cannot use the 4-day Greek Islands Pass to travel internationally to or from Greece. The 4-day Greek Islands Pass is only valid for travel with participating ferry transport companies in the country covered by your Pass. Read more
  • The 4-day Greek Islands Pass is available as a mobile or paper Pass (the 6-day Greek Islands Pass is available as a paper Pass only). 
  • When travelling with a Greek Islands Pass, all Pass holders must reserve a seat for each ferry they wish to travel on. This can be done free of charge. Make sure to do so as early as possible to ensure seats are still available. Please not that if you do not hold a seat reservation for the ferry service you wish to travel on, you will not be allowed to board the vessel.

  • 1st class 6-day Greek Islands Passes are valid in both 1st and 2nd class on international ferries (routes between Italy and Greece). On domestic ferries (local routes between Greek islands), only 2nd class (economy) seats are available when travelling with a Greek Islands Pass.

    Reserve now. Upgrade later. Upgrade your cabin with an exclusive 30% reduction once your ship has sailed (except Lux cabins and subject to availability). Valid for international and domestic routes.

  • All standard Interrail and Eurail Passes are refundable or exchangeable if they are returned unused. Read our booking terms and our refund & exchange policy

  • The Attica Group comprises the following ferry companies: Superfast Ferries, Blue Star Ferries & Hellenic Seaways.

Additional conditions for Adults with Children

 

  • Children under 4 travel for free and do not need a Greek Islands Pass. You may be asked to sit a child under 4 on your lap during busy times. If you'd like to reserve a separate seat for your child under 4, then you will need to add a free Child Pass to your order, as it's only possible to book seats/beds for Pass holders. Read more.

  • Children aged 4 to 11 on the date you choose to start your trip travel for free with a Child Pass. Children must be accompanied at all times by at least one person with an Adult Pass. This doesn’t have to be a family member and can be anyone over 18.
