  1. Hello, is there a ferry from thesaloniki to thassos? Or thesaloniki to keramoti and then thassos?
    Regards,
    Mariana

    • Hey, Mariana,
      To get from Thessaloniki to Thassos you need to go by car to Kavala or Keramoti, and then take a ferry to Thassos.
      Unfortunately you cannot book those tickets via our ferry affiliate. As they are not available online at all.
      Tickets can only be purchased from the company booking offices immediately prior to departure.
      You can find the hours here: http://www.thassosferries.gr/en/

      Cheers,
      Cristina

  2. Hi, do you know how trustworthy are those ferries? I mean I have my flight at 10 am. and think now if I should go to the mainland already in the evening if there is any hassle with the ferry. Also I would like to book accommodation for my last night but I can´t do it on the island if the first ferry is not earlier than 7 am. Do you have any idea when the ferry company publishes the new schedule for July? Thank you so much!

    • Hi, Annika. Thanks for the comment.
      Literally there isn’t any other way to cross to the island so you can rely on them, or not go. As for the ferry schedule, in general, in Greece, never assume they leave at the minute listed on any schedule: they may be earlier, they may be later.
      Unfortunately, no one knows when the updated schedule for July will be published. Use the June schedule as guidance as it may stay the same (or more sailings might be added).
      The do have contact information on their site so you can drop them an email or give them a call to ask.
      From personal experience traveling in Greece – always have a backup plan. If that means an overnight on the mainland, so be it; if that means you’ll catch the next ferry, that’s that…
      Hope it helps.
