On the ferry to Greece

---

After arriving in Verona, I headed straight to Venice. A nice relaxed ride, getting used to the feel of the bike all loaded up.
Let´s get this out of the way right now: I am not the world´s greatest drıver, so any any comments I make about driving ın a country could possibly apply to me as well. I´ll stick to once sentence per country. For Italy: Hmmm, I´m going 50 kph faster than thıs biker and am passıng him with at least 25 cm space between us, that´s not close enough.

Got to the ferry in Venice and got the bike loaded up. No cabbin, but the Greeks run a relaxed ship and everyone just inflated their matrasses to sleep on. At night there was a midnight Easter mass, it was nice to watch the bar filled with Greeks holding candles. The next day the crew had a party on board to celebrate Easter, a good time was had by all :-)

Met an English couple on their way to spend a few weeks wıth a friend who had moved to Greece, and again had some beers.

Propose island hopping
Hi ArtVark, Sounds like an amazing trip. Hope you keep as posted as I am planning something similar during the Summer. Do you suggest any websites for ferry tickets? I have seen www.goferry.gr. They offer online booking and e-tickets at fairly competitive prices. Let me know and keep us updated!

Cant fınd the bookıng...
For some reason I can't find who I booked through anymore. But I checked serveral sıtes, and the prices are all very close, doesn't make much of a difference. I went with Minoan Lines, for me that was cheaper than Anek. There are a lot more ferries in the summer than April, so you could have more choices then.
