Greek ferry companies including Seajets, Blue Star Ferries, Hellenic Seaways and Golden Star Ferries have announced up to 20% discounts on island routes.
The Greek shipping ministry has announced that it will be disbursing subsidies valued at 30 million euros to eligible islanders and island-based businesses.
Celestyal Cruises recently launched its first departure from the port of Lavrio - the third of its homeports - during a special event on board the "Celestyal Olympia".
For the first time in the two years of Covid-19, island-bound traffic from the ports of Piraeus, Rafina and Lavrio soared with the Cyclades, Crete and Rhodes winning over a large share of Easter travelers.
The Greek Shipping Ministry will use €1 billion in funds to improve the service of ferry connections and cover projects to upgrade island port infrastructure.
