A noter: Depending on Greek legislation, international shipping regulations in Greek waters may change (international board). The Greek "greek board" authority may, if necessary, request the "face control" of the passengers, the first or last day of your cruise with the maritime customs service (formality taking no more than 20 minutes, you'll only have to show your passport or ID).
We recommended passengers that for their return flights, they take the ones leaving on Saturday afternoon to reach their final destinations.
