On conventional ferries (Blue Star, Fast Ferries), expect open sun decks where you can watch the Aegean unfold, full restaurants and cafes, shops, ATMs, and spacious indoor lounges. High-speed catamarans (Seajets, Hellenic Seaways) trade outdoor space for speed: airline-style interiors, snack bars, and panoramic windows.
