Its a great town, nice people, and beautiful beaches. | Make sure you book a room on the ferry, and not a deck pass. This will give you a place to sleep, rather than in some corner you can find in the bow of the ship. Its a little more money for a lot more comfort. The ferry ride is a bit long, so book the overnight trip so you can sleep a bit. -Matt cste chris stewart Post Count: 7 Msg: #3 83 weeks ago, May 26th 2008 | Thanks for the quick reply! Do you suggest a certaing port of departure and specific ferry line? Also how far in advance should I book a cabin? Now? or is it something i can do once we are ready to leave Rome? Thanks so much again. chris | Sorola Msorola Post Count: 43 Msg: #4 82 weeks ago, May 26th 2008 | The port town will vary, and the carrier service will most likely run through one of the three large Hellenic Ferry companies. Here is a good website to check out for booking your passage. It is very user friendly, kinda like an expedia.com for ferries. | I would wait till you are in Rome to book your passage, that way you are not locked into a set date and time. Make sure to book it at least a few days ahead of time though. As far as the cabin, check the actual trip time. The Superfast Ferries are really quick, so it might not even be an issue. I took a regular ferry and it was an overnight deal. This is also another big thing to consider, how fast you want to get there. The speed comes at a significant price. -Matt deleted_88965 deleted_88965 Post Count: 9 Msg: #5 42 weeks ago, March 4th 2009 | Hi Sorala | Thanks for the info.

But as you said, you're with no car, just you and your son. so why dont you reserve a taxi. <snip> I used that company also. Its great. Its just so relaxing when you know that a taxi is waiting for you at the port and you wont be searching for some bus full of people etc. I'm glad that i helped you out. Have a nice trip! :) Regards, Dennis. [Edited: 15:06 - Mell ] Number of Users: 4 | Number of Posts: 6 | ||||||||||||||
