Use PayPal to pay, credit cards can be delayed and difficult

Easy but credit card transactions are problematic, so we used PayPal instead. They do not post schedules until about 3 weeks in advance. Hard to plan places to stay with so little time to book a ferry

Reply from Ferries.gr - Paleologos Travel

We are glad to hear you found our platform easy to use and that PayPal served as a convenient alternative.

Regarding credit card transactions, strict banking security protocols can sometimes cause interruptions.

Regarding the schedules, we wish to clarify that we do not control their release; they are determined solely by the ferry operators and the Ministry of Shipping. We publish them instantly once they become official. We understand the challenge this poses for planning accommodation, but it is an industry-wide factor.

Punctual and Efficient

I liked that they refunded me the difference in price after changing our ferry to an earlier, cheaper ferry.
They could have had a higher rating if they had simply refunded me online without me having to first ask, then secondly go to the office for it.
They were punctual and efficient though.
I didn't like trying to find the departure mooring in Symi.

Reply from Ferries.gr - Paleologos Travel

We appreciate your feedback and are pleased that you found our service punctual and efficient; we always strive to provide the best possible customer service.

Regarding the refund, we are glad it was resolved, though we understand your preference for an automatic online transaction which is not always possible due to banking or operator protocols.

As for the difficulty finding the mooring in Symi, we include the local agent's contact details in your booking confirmation precisely to offer assistance in such cases of uncertainty or if you need directions on the spot. Thank you for choosing Ferries.gr for your travels!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I’m pretty satisfied.

Edit: the agents got back to me and all is good. I might not have understood the translation of details.

It took two days to get through. I emailed and never heard from anyone until I found a way to reserve seats and did this review.
The problem is no one ever got back to me via the method the web site said to use via email. I only heard from them after the problem was resolved by me.
So here is what I learned. I tried to book passage on my iPhone 14ProMax and my iPad using iOS and the Apple browser, Safari. After two days passed and talking to a friend, she suggested using my PC tablet and Google Chrome. That worked.
So I give them a compliment for reaching out to me, and indicating they care.
They did let me know what deck seating is. I’m booked on that going over, and business class on my return.
After the trip, I hope to do an update and score them 5 stars.

We are concerned to read your comment that you never heard from us. To set the record straight, we received your email on November 8th and responded on November 10th, to which you replied with thanks. Furthermore, our records show that you proceeded to make a successful booking with us.

Regarding your question, 'Deck' accommodation grants access to the ship's open decks and interior common areas (lounges/cafes), without a specific reserved seat.

Since we did respond, assist you, and facilitate a successful booking, we would be grateful if you would reconsider your rating. Thank you for choosing Ferries.gr for your travels!

Comfortable ferry ride

Comfortable ferry ride in calm water, in good weather with great views of the islands and Turkish coastline.
Only downside was the information on where to catch the ferry - a google map reference would be helpful.
Limited cafe service on board but other facilities were fine.
