International Routes
Schedules for international routes for the upcoming year are typically released from mid-October through November. We recommend keeping an eye out during this period, as limited-time early booking discounts and special offers will be available - including early bird discounts for Italy - Greece - Italy routes.
Domestic Routes
Domestic route schedules are generally published at the beginning of the first quarter (Q1) of the travel year.

While goferry covers the vast majority of ferry routes, certain short local crossings and domestic legs on international vessels cannot be booked online. These trips must either be purchased directly at the departure port or are restricted by maritime law.
Routes not available for online booking include:
Short local ferry crossings: Routes such as Kosta to Spetses or Patras to Corfu, Kefalonia, and Lefkada are operated by local ferry companies who do not issue online tickets. You can purchase these tickets in person at the local port ticket booths on the day of travel
Domestic legs on international ferries: Ships operating international routes (such as Italy to Greece) often stop at intermediate Greek ports like Corfu or Igoumenitsa. Due to maritime cabotage regulations, foreign-flagged international vessels cannot transport passengers traveling exclusively between two domestic ports
Tip for local crossings: Local port ferries operate frequently during peak summer months (often every 30 to 60 minutes). Arrive at the port ticket booth early to purchase your tickets and secure your spot.
