Tips for the Ios–Koufonisi Ferry
- Always cross-check your ticket details – date, vessel name, passenger count, and vehicle details – before the cancellation window closes.
- Onboard announcements are made in Greek first and English second; if you miss the English version, ask a fellow passenger what was said.
- Booking the earliest possible outward sailing gives you the most time on the island and reduces pressure on your return connection.
- Passports or national identity cards are required for all passengers on domestic Greek ferry routes – carry yours in your day bag, not buried in your hold luggage.
- Once you arrive in Koufonisia, the turquoise waters and sandy coves of these Small Cyclades islands rank among the most scenic in all of Greece. The islands' compact size makes them easy to explore on foot, and boat trips to the surrounding islets offer some exceptional swimming.
