Tickets… not even for a sample – Fears of staying 3 extra days on the islands for those who do not have a return ticket

Tickets… neither for sample!

This year’s Easter will not fall in the Cyclades and this has been known for some time.

Indicative of what is going to happen are hotel and accommodation bookings, which reach 90% and 100% as well as the demand for ferry tickets which fluctuates at August levels with the occupancy reaching 100% and several regular excursionists they are left out as the return ships on Easter Monday and Lambrotritis do not even fit a pin…

Therefore, if someone does not have a ticket for Piraeus, he is forced to extend his departure and leave on Thursday, May 2, as there are only a few tickets left on Tuesday, which will also be sold out in the next few hours.

The ferry companies have already announced additional ship itineraries to serve the increased demand and the passenger public, as well as the routing of some high-speed ships, however it is not enough for the world and a solution must be found immediately.

It will cost what the cuckoo nightingale will cost to transport a family for Easter with the tickets remaining high, if we add a 2-3 day stay then the cost for the Easter holidays in our islands will be prohibitive.

Indicative ticket prices:
For four people who choose Andros for Easter they will pay 300 euros by car, while if they choose Syros the cost will be 569 euros and 650 euros by speedboat.

What is certain is that whatever means of transport the Greeks will choose this year, they will have to put their hands deep in their pockets to spend Easter in their village or in some other destination outside the city.
