Greece in June
Hi, I'm planning a trip to Greece in June. Flying into Athens, then thinking of taking ferries/hydrofoils to the islands. How do I get from Mykonos to Patmos? Is there a direct ferry?
Also, anybody stayed at Mykonos View Village? It looks pretty from the photos and rather reasonably priced.
Appreciate any thoughts/advice!

For ferry schedules use http://www.gtp.gr/ but June schedules may not be finalized till May. This site does not link schedules together so you will probably have to go to Samos first then go over to Patmos on two different tickets. Actually stay on Samos and make Patmos a day trip. Marathokambos( is a very quiet part of Samos that has weekend boat service to Patmos. You could also take a day trip to Kusadasi, Turkey and see Ephesus.
In Mykonos try staying in town at the PETASSOS TOWN HOTEL. You can rent scooters or take the bus to the beaches. Though not as nice as MVV, they have a roof top deck for some very nice views. Also makes the night life more fun when you can walk to your hotel at the end of the evening.

Another thought...
Athens is going to be crazy with traffic so don't plan your ferry close to your arrival into Athens. Actually I have a great GREAT driver in Athens that I have used many times and have referred to others. It's better than taking a cab, since the cab drivers can be a little....what's the word

The guys name is Tassos and he also has a brother. They are awesome! Their website is www.athenslimo.com as well. Make sure negotiate the prices too. Tell them a friend from Chicago referred you on a website.
Best wishes,

On a sidenote - if I were you, I would fly from Athens to Mykonos and then take the ferry/boat/hydrofoil. Just my opinion. Others may have their own.
Have fun!

Blue Star Ferries runs a service from Athens to the Dodecanese Islands(including Patmos), via Syros. It should run about 3 to 4 times a week in June.
There will be daily ferries between Mykonos and Syros.
If you book early enough, you can get a great discounted deal on Aegean Air flights between Athens and Mykonos, or between Kos/Rhodes/Samos to Athens for your return.

What kind of combination flight and ferry service might be in place late this October early November 2021 that would go from ATH to Patmos?
When I reviewed options a few years ago, some recommending flying ATH to Samos then Hydrofoil to Patmos. Is this combination still in place?
