Is there a ticket for all ferries in the Greek Islands?
Is there some kind of economic ticket to travel several times on the Greek ferries to the Greek islands ?
Best Answer
This might not be the answer you expect but Interrail passes offer some discounts on some domestic ferry lines.
The offer is you get 30% off on domestic ferry tickets if you reserved a ferry ticket between Greece and Italy (which is included with the Global Interrail Pass or you have 30% off on it with the Greece Plus Interrail Pass).
It is valid on the ferry operators Blue Star/Superfast Ferries and Minoan Lines (if all your trips are with the same operator).
So this is mostly interesting if you already travel by train (Global Passes start at 181 euros and Greece Plus Passes start at 81 euros).
NOTE: as written on Interrail website, as of June 2013, "Greek national railway company OSE has suspended the circulation of all international trains indefinitely."

How much do ferries between Greek islands cost?
The Greek Island ferries can range from less than 10 Euros to around 100 Euros per person for a round trip. If you're only going one way each time, this will cut your costs in half, but book a round trip if you're only visiting two islands. An average ferry will probably set you back around 50 Euros.Are there ferries between the Greek islands?
Greek ferries do not run between every island. They generally run between Athens and every island and then to nearby islands. The Cyclades are the best islands for the first time visitor to Greece: frequent, short ferry connections with the other islands makes hopping between islands fun and easy.Can you island hop around Greece?
Syros and Naxos are the epicentre of Greek island-hopping in the Aegean. From Syros, you can easily reach Tinos, Mykonos, Kos, Leros, Patmos, Rhodes, Santorini and Anafi. Or start on Naxos and travel to Paros, Santorini, Amorgos, Astypalea, Ios, Folegandros and the so-called Small Cyclades islands.Can you buy ferry tickets at the port in Greece?
If you want to buy your ticket on the spot I would recommend you to be at the port one hour prior your ship's departure at least. Be aware also of the possible traffic to get to the port. You can book a ticket or just get informed on the ferry schedules and buy your ticket on the spot.Greece Ferries - Tickets, Routes, Ports, Boarding, Seating, \u0026 Luggage

Answer 2
I have tried to get something similar two summers ago and the answer is "no".
I do not understand why though as many tourists would find it useful and in times of recession the ferry companies could benefit too.
Of course if you have traveled a bit more on Greek seas you would see that company "monopolies" and "mafias" are controlling the movement of Aegean, especially in smaller distance travels...
