Are you dreaming of island-hopping across the stunning Greek islands but worried about the costs? The Interrail/Eurail Greek Islands Pass might just be your ultimate travel hack! Explore Stasher’s guide detailing how your Interrail/Eurail Pass works not just for trains, but also for the expansive (and expensive) ferry networks.
To avoid confusion throughout this article, when we refer to the Interrail Pass we are also referring to the Eurail Pass. Both of these offer the same benefits and discounts for exploring the Greek islands, the differences are as follow:
- Interrail Pass: This is for European Residents
- Eurail Pass: This is for non-European Residents and International Travellers
