To be advised. We’ll have this information by the beginning on February.  

Flexi
Options On the first day of the tour you will be issued with a ferry ticket for each individual leg of the tour.  Should you wish to stay longer on one of the islands you will be given a voucher by the Busabout guide, which you can take to the local ticket office and exchange for a ticket.  If you’re going to wait for the next tour group to pass through, you can give your vouchers to the next Busabout guide. Your Busabout Guide can give you directions to the local ferry office and help you work out what dates to book so that you join up with the next Busabout group.   

Accommodation
 Accommodation will be organised locally by your guide. You’ll be staying at a hostel, budget hotel or campsite on each island and will pay as you go. Prices will vary throughout the season and are dependent on both the time of the year and the type of room you wish to stay in - private rooms will be more expensive than the shared dorm-style accommodation. July and August are the peak traveling months in Greece and accommodation prices are usually higher than in June and September. Prices will be made available once we have finalised the properties that we’ll be using, but will probably range between about 10-15 Euros per person for dorm room in May, June and September, to around 35 to 40 Euros per person for a private room in July and August.
