In the next few days, ferry tickets are set to rise an extra 7% for services setting sail from Piraeus and by 12% for those departing from Rafina, due to the major increase in the cost of maritime fuel, ekathimerini.com reports.
The hikes regarding tickets from Piraeus port will come on top of the previous increase of 10% earlier this year.
Worse, unless fuel rates drop considerably in the near future, the third hike of around 5% should be expected before Easter – i.e. after mid-April.
Passengers and drivers using the Adriatic services of the Italian group Grimaldi have already experienced similar rises to those expected to be imposed for ships sailing out of Piraeus.
