August 2020. The cost of summer holidays is often a deterrent to organizing an escape. However, if you prepare well and do a search, then you may be able to secure a much more economical holiday than you thought. Transportation and accommodation are two of the main costs, as what you eat and how much you spend on your food is largely up to you and is more easily regulated. If you won’t get too far from Athens, we recommend the islands with the cheapest ferry tickets.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pack your bags and get ready for a dive. They are ideal destinations for a last-minute getaway…<\/p>\n

Andros Island<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Noble and special Andros<\/strong> is quite close despite the fact that many do not know it and feel that it is more distant. This is also confirmed by the cost of the ticket, which is 19.50 euros.<\/strong> In two hours from the port of Rafina, you will be in Andros, and you will be preparing to eat fresh fish in the beautiful and famous Batsi.<\/p>\n

Kythnos Island<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The nearby favorite of the Cyclades, or the colored one as they usually call it, has an economical ferry that you won’t think twice about going. There you will also find affordable accommodation. We recommend the village of Merichas, which has everything and is at the focal point. The cost to go to Kythnos is 15 euros per person, and you will find a ferry that will take you from Lavrio in just 1.5 hours. \u039a\u03cd\u03b8\u03bd\u03bf<\/strong>, are you thinking of something better?<\/p>\n

Aegina island<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The island next door is more than an hour from the port of Piraeus. In addition to quickly getting to Aegina<\/strong>, you’re going to go economically, since you can choose either the conventional ferry, that is at 8 euros, or the well-known “dolphin”, which will have you at your destination in 40 minutes, having paid only 13 euros.<\/strong> There are many itineraries, so you’ll find it easy even if you decide at the last minute.<\/p>\n

A close and economical choice in all respects is also the Agistri<\/strong>. The island of Argosaroikos will cost you from 11.5 to 13 euros to go (and the same amount for your return).<\/strong> The ride is one hour and 35 minutes, and you will be lucky enough to enjoy your swim in turquoise waters in the background of tufted trees. Tempting, isn’t it?<\/p>\n

Tzia Island<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It may not be the island of cheap accommodation, but surely access is very economical for the Kea. You will take the boat from Lavrio, you will pay 11 euros, and in a short time, you will be in this noble corner of the Cyclades. If you make a good deal as far as accommodation is concerned, then you will have achieved a wonderful escape.<\/p>\n

The islands near Athens offer you the opportunity for economic holidays, and at the same time, away from everyday life. By paying, moreover, for cheap ferries, you can extend the days of your stay on these islands.<\/p>\n

Remember:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ticket prices are one-way and are without a vehicle. If you have a motorcycle license, you can turn most islands like this or rent a vehicle there, especially if you want to take many long walks.<\/p>\n
