Practical Information
Use of the Attica Pass
Before customers embark the ferry, it is extremly important that
they write the travel date in the travel calender on their Attica Pass.
Not doing so is the same as travelling without a ticket, which means
travellers will have to pay for a full-fare ticket.

How to fill in the Travel Calender on the Ticket?


The travel calender will have a day and a month box for the six trips
the customers are entitled to. Customers should write the day and
month in in the proper boxes under 1 for the first ferry trip, 2 for
the second ferry trip, and so on. This should not be done with a
pencil but with blue or black ink.

Example of first trip

Dos and donts for the Travel Calender:


Only use a pen with black or blue ink (not erasable)
Do not use a pencil
Never correct a date
Enter two digits per day/ month (see example above)
In case of an overnight ferry, please fill in the day of
departure or the day of arrival

Additional Trips
Pass holders are entitled to a 30% discount on all Greek domestic
routes, for any additional trips (more than the 6 free trips). Taking
advantage of this discount does not require the use of a trip in the
Travel Calender.

Mistake in the Travel Calender


Attica Pass holders have to fill out the travel calender very carefully
as mistakes cannot be corrected, since an altered travel date can be
interpreted as attempted fraud. In case travellers make a mistake,
they have to enter the correct date in the next box, which means
that they loose one ferry trip.
