Hotels, Transfers and Activities are sold without any booking charges (service fees, management fees or booking fees) in their prices.

There is a service fee only for ferry ticket orders made through our website. Our company is obliged to charge a service fee in order to be able to provide and maintain the best possible service to its clients. The service fee is charged once per "shopping basket purchase" i.e. even if many reservations are made, they can be placed in a shopping basket and then be checked-out all together paying only one service fee.

The service fee tarriff is as follows:

Cancellations: Cancellations are subject to penalty fees according to each shipping company's policy. You can find details in our "Ticketing terms & conditions" section.

Moreover, our company charges a 5,00 euro charge for each cancellation. Ferry ticket cancellation is a time consuming and costly process, which consists of letter exchange with the shipping company involved, and effort to recover the actual ticket from our client in order to be able to return it to the shipping company. If we do not return the one cancelled the shipping company charges us for it, even though we have refunded our client.Changes: There is a 5,00 euro extra charge for all changes made after the issuance of the tickets. In order to change a ticket already issued we are obliged to cancel the previous one and issue a new one. The same time consuming and costly process as for the cancellations applies. This is also why our service fee is non-refundable.

Due to the above reasons, cancellations cannot be done online. You have to contact us through email or phone in order to order a cancellation.

Tickets can be picked up from our offices free of charge from Monday to Friday 09:30 to 17:30 Info.

Web Check-in or Port delivery:

Most ferry operators allow web check-in, but not all. Web check-in is usually available 48 hours before the ferry departure time. Each ferry operators’ web check in form might require different data (last name, Reservation No, Ferry Operator Reservation No, Access Code, etc). All this data is included in the booking confirmation email.

Passengers, who need or wish to pick up their tickets from their departure port, must visit the ferry operator's port agent or ticketing booth, before boarding.

Port agents will ask for the reservation number (PNR) and maybe an ID. Some port agents, might charge a small fee per ticket (e.g. 1 euro) to print tickets.

Passengers should be at the port early enough as some port agents are not located next to the pier from which the ferry is departing. There might also be queues.

The following ferry operators allow web check-in:

• Blue Star Ferries
• Hellenic Seaways
• Golden Star Ferries
