![]() ![]() Santorini in mid-October was still too full of cruiseship daytrippers, but some services were beginning to shut down (my car driver said that was his last week before winter and my hotel was not full). Early October on Crete, there were a goodly number of tourists, but nowhere was overwhelmed, everything - cafes, shops, restaurants, hotels, sights - were open. I suspect that ferries from Kusadasi are seasonal. I believe ferries run all winter among the Greek islands. There are ferries listed from Athens to Heraklion through Oct. I did a quick test, no ferries showing from Kusadasi or Samos in late October or early November. This is the website I used to find and book ferries in Greece. So before you want to go from one island to another island, first check if it's possible:Īnd then double-check on the ferry company's website. It allows you to see all the ferry departures from a specific island as well as all the ports that will be served by these ferries. Gtp.gr has an interesting function in your case. No accommodations or ferries.Īround September you will have a better view of the ferry schedules. ![]() In any case you will always find ferries whatever the time of year, they are essential to the economic life of the islands, even without tourists.Īs Charlene told you, if you're in no rush to get home, you might as well not book anything at all. It is therefore difficult to give you other indications. You did not specify from which city (country?) you will return home, and after how many days. Depending on the island where you will go then it can be from one port or the other. There is no need to book in advance but if you want to do it, it's here: There is a ferry leaving daily at 9am from Kusadasi to the island of Samos until the end of October. Just be sure to get back to Athens at least 3-4 days before your home flight, to give you a cushion in case of flight/ferry cancellations & to allow time to visit Athens itself. ![]() You may run into rainy & cooler weather at that time of year - and the some islands may not have much in the way of hotels & restaurants- but you could also have lovely days. Worst case, you could fly from Samos to Athens and spend your remaining time on the mainland and visiting the small islands (ie Aegina) near Athens. When you get to Samos, plan to spend a couple of days to see that island and maybe visit a travel agent to brainstorm routes. Familiarize yourself with the various islands, but don’t book hotels - bad weather can cause ferry cancellations. They will be cut back but still running to most (if not all) islands. Check ferry schedules between now and your tour. You’ll get a ferry from Kusadasi to Samos, then can make your way to Athens and fly home from there. If you are adventurous, I’d say go for it. ![]()
