The beauty of the Greek islands, with the gorgeous beaches, the sun and the crystal-clear waters, is accessible to anyone who chooses Greece as a vacation spot. This is due to the strong network of coastal transport and communications, serviced by modern vessels of all categories, and going to all destinations.
Vessels of every type, passenger ships, ferries, hydrofoils and catamaran craft cross the sea highways, in all the seas of the country, able to carry 100,000 passengers and 20,000 private vehicles every day. These vessels are distributed in such a manner that they connect the Central harbours of Attica, Piraeus and Rafina with the islands, and every island to the other. In addition, other harbours of Attica and continental Greece are connected by ship with the islands.
The port of Rhodes is the main port of the Dodecanese and it's connected with regular ferries to the port of Piraeus and Heraklion (Crete). From Rhodes you can also go by ship to Turkey, Cyprus and Israel whereas local lines connect Rhodes to the nearby islands.
As Rhodes is a top tourist destination, it's recomended to book your tickets early in order to find better prices, ideal departing day and time, desired services (for example, cabin) etc.
