I'm currently wading into the early stages of planning a trip to Greece. I am aware of how complicated this can be (an understatement).
Because our time is constrained (whose isn't?) and because - when it comes to Greek Islands - there are just too many "must see, must do" places scattered across way too much water. And just like Zeus punished Promethius with that hungry eagle, the ferry gods seem to take great pleasure in eternally tormenting and torturing visitors who are expecting simple, quick, obvious, straightforward connections, so working out island-hopping ferry plans appears to be as complicated as Chinese algebra (apologies to Tom Waits and mixed metaphors).
I need a map that clearly shows how to get between individual islands, and between island-groups. Got a favorite? Extra points if it's comprehensive and up-to date (I do understand that ferry timetables get revised, that's OK, as long as they aren't routinely getting abandoned).
Can any of you Greece experts point me to your favorite online ferry map? Thank you!!!
PS: Ironic but true - as I'm typing this, I can hear an eagle outside my house somewhere nearby. Although I live in an ordinary, residential neighborhood in Seattle, I do see bald eagles here pretty regularly, and I know what they sound like. And there's one making noise outside my open window right now. When I go outside, I'll be protecting my liver, just in case Zeus sent him.
