Greek ferries

[wiz0rd]

Does anyone know which ferries are included with the regular 18 country Europass?

Ideally I'd like to come back to Italy by boat and preferrably Venice.

Is Patras-Venice one of the included routes and if not, is there a discount and what is the full fare for a seat on the deck?

Also, does your pass give you discounts on Greek island crossings?

Haven't ever used a rail pass in conjunction with the ferry, but according to Logan on this post pretravel.proboards1.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&n=1&thread=2801&page=1 it's possible. He says to look under the "bonuses" section, if that makes sense.

Also have a look at the links in that post thread for prices, routes, etc on the different ferry companies that sail the Adriatic. Make sure you do book a ferry that sails into Venice, it's an amazing sight! Some of them change a month out and sail to Ancona, so just check. Mid-summer is usually ok though.
