Why Travelers Can Get Fed Up With Ferry Rides In Greece

If you're heading to Greece for a vacation this summer, you may take a ferry to travel between islands. However, choppy water on a ferry can lead to both seasickness and delays.
One reason Greek ferries often have delays is that, particularly in the summer, there can be a lot of wind, causing rough water. They may also be loading and unloading cars.
One Reddit user said, "The more times the ferry stops [...] the more likely it will be delayed. Direct ferries, or those with only 1 or 2 stops are by far the most reliable."
Weather delays and cancellations are more likely for smaller, fast ferries like Seajet. A larger one that is slower and more stable will be more reliable.
Ferries can also be difficult if you get seasick. Take some anti-nausea medication like Dramamine or try natural nausea prevention with foods like green apples and ginger.
