"If you don't take a ferry to an island, you haven't truly experienced summer"someone said, and how right he was! But when the destination is the Aegean, every minute counts! If you are dreaming of a vacation on the Greek islands, the time you spend traveling is precious—especially if you are traveling with children, who start asking the moment they step onto the ship: "when will we get there?"
This year, for our summer "Island Hopping" project, we chose to trust Seajets. As we enter the final stretch before our departure, we are sharing with you the reasons that led us to this choice, as well as everything you need to know to organize your own trip easily and quickly.
1. Speed and comfort: The main reason
The main advantage of Seajets is just one: timing. Boasting the largest fleet of high-speed vessels in the world, the company promises to get us to our destinations much faster than conventional ferries. For us, traveling with a child, speed is the number one factor to arrive well-rested and gain extra hours for swimming and exploring!
2. Island Hopping becomes... a breeze!
The extensive network of destinations makes Seajets the ideal choice for those who want to combine multiple islands in one trip. With frequent summer schedules to the Cyclades, as well as to Crete, the Sporades, and the Northern Aegean, you can build an island-to-island itinerary without long waiting times.
Our plan for this year includes two beautiful islands: Serifos and Folegandros. How do you combine these two? Seajets covers over 50 destinations in the Aegean, making the connection between the islands extremely simple. Instead of searching for complicated schedules, you can easily design your own island hopping, combining top destinations with speed.
3. How we booked our tickets (Step-by-Step)
The booking process on Seajets site proved to be a breeze. See how simple it is:
- Search: You select your departure port, destination, and dates.
- Selection: You choose the speedboat and the itinerary that suits you best.
- Details: You fill in the passenger details.
- Booking: You complete the payment and immediately receive the confirmation in your email.
4. Tips for smart planning
If you are organizing your trip too, take notes to save time and money:
- Online Check-in: It saved us a lot of trouble! It is available from 48 up to 2 hours before the ship's departure. You check in from your mobile phone via the special link, get your e-tickets, and skip the lines at the port. Once there, you just need to show the QR code to the crew — nothing printed is required. If you prefer a physical ticket, you can pick it up from the Seajets offices at the port, arriving at least 1 hour earlier.
- SEACLUB: If you plan to do island hopping or travel frequently, sign up for the loyalty program SEACLUB. You accumulate points from your bookings, which you can redeem for discounts on your next trips.
- Offers & Discounts: Before completing your booking, check the section “Offers” on the site, as there are often special discounts for families, permanent residents, or early booking.
5. Ready for boarding with the family
One of the reasons we are looking forward to the trip is the comfortable, air-conditioned spaces of the ships and the cozy airplane-style seats. For a family, the reassurance that the journey will be short and comfortable takes away all the stress of travel.
Stay tuned in Travel See Feel, because very soon we will be bringing you live images from inside the ship, as well as our impressions of Serifos and Folegandros!
