Greek islands

There are about 1400 islands in Greece. Hitchhiking in cars will likely prove much easier than on the mainland! Hitchhiking a boat may be possible too. Hitchhiking a ferry from mainland to an island can be difficult: usual method of asking the truckdrivers (and other drivers) is not working as they have to pay for every passenger, not just for the vehicle.
Some islands are
- Crete
- Corfu or Kerkya,
- Chios, the best for hitching!
- Lesbos or Lesvos,
- Elafonissos,
- Lefkada,
- Kefallonia,
- Ithaka,
- Samos.
On Ikaria almost every driver is taking you, but they are usually not going very far and there are not many cars.
The ferry from Samos (Greece) to Kuşadası (Turkey) is a tourist passenger ferry and costs 30 Euro plus 10 Euro Turkish port tax which is a lot more than the regular Greek ferry (deck ticket) prices.
