Underestimate Travel Time

If you plan to return to Athens from the islands for your flight home, do not “cut it too close”. If your flight is scheduled for the afteroon or evening, do not think that if you take the morning ferry you will be ok. So many unexpected things may happen – ferry could have mechanical problems, stuck in port due to bad weather, sudden work stoppage or slowdown – so its safer to return at least a day before your flight back.
