A ferry (or ferryboat) is a form of transportation, usually a boat, but sometimes a ship, used to carry (or ferry) primarily passengers, and sometimes vehicles and cargo as well, across a body of water. Most ferries operate on regular, frequent, return services. A passenger ferry with many stops, such as in Venice, is sometimes called a water bus or water taxi. Ferries form a part of the public transport systems of many waterside cities and islands, allowing direct transit between points at a capital cost much lower than bridges or tunnels. However, ship connections of much larger distances (such as over long distances in water bodies like the Mediterranean Sea) may also be called ferry services, especially if they carry vehicles.

I have checked for you, the reason you are having a problem is that many of the ferries are fully booked. If any that you find available are within your time scale I would advise you to book it now, but the highest availability is with the day ferries. www.ferries.gr has links to all the available options Answered by Sbh - Sat Sep 20 17:31:36 2008 What is the procedure for taking horses on Washington State ferries?
