[@swissclimber1]

You're welcome! Let me know if you have other questions

[@snoman1999]

Great info thanks 👍🏼

[@susansirna4125]

Do you know how to buy the ticket online and how far in advance?

[@swissclimber1]

you can google it. but we bought it at traghetti.com. best to book in advance (way in advance) during peak season. Buy at least the day before

[@sidneytsang7105]

Thank for very helpful information! Want to know which ferry company you are using! Thank you and have a nice day!!

[@susansirna4125]

Thank you!

[@adrianpiatkiewicz4571]

Is there more than one ferry that runs there, which might lead to boarding the wrong one?

[@swissclimber1]

Hi there. Trust me, you will NOT Board the wrong ferry. They will check your ticket to make sure you are boarding the right vessel company and the destination.

[@adrianpiatkiewicz4571]

@@swissclimber1 ok thx :)

[@cckcarbone]

May I ask which car rental company you used?

[@swissclimber1]

It was either Avis or Europcar. Is there a reason you ask? I typically don't work with local rental companies.

[@oyeche21]

Do you also share space with the train?

[@swissclimber1]

Hello...Not with this particular vessel. There was no rail/train for this one

[@wacksalad3110]

when you buy the ticket online do you go straight to boarding ? No check in ?

[@swissclimber1]

That’s correct! Be sure to print out your ticket and formalities. There is no check-in before you board the vessel. If you are on the main island it’s tricky to figure things out!

@@swissclimber1 Thanks for that , I have no chance to print anything so will just show them the QR code on my phone.
