One hour in advance, no security check, only ticket check

As a previous group member said, 30-40 minutes in advance is enough. We took the ferry in Athens, Crete, Santorini, and Mykonos, and there were ticketing points at the ports. It's faster to print the tickets online in advance, of course. The most important thing is that there are usually two or three boats at the big ports that passengers can board at the same time. The boarding speed on small islands is very fast. The last car on board doesn't wait for everyone to park their car before sailing. So when you arrive at the port, be sure to find the staff and wait in line at the designated location.

Aren't you going to Zakynthos? Patras can also be reached by ferry, you can board about 30-40 minutes in advance.

Excuse me, do I need to leave about an hour between the time the flight arrives and the time I pick up the car? Is the pick-up time strictly according to the order time on the order? If the flight is delayed, for example, the pick-up time is 08:00, but I don't arrive until 09:00, will there be any problems? The car rental agency should not refuse to leave a car for you because of this, right ? Greece Q&A

In summary, the schedule is too tight, I'm not sure how much time I have left to play, but the days are late in Greece, it's not until 8 o'clock at night that it gets dark, and it doesn't matter if you go late to places without tickets, it takes a long time to get to Meteora from there, whether it's from Athens or your itinerary from Meteora to Delphi, your estimated time will definitely be exceeded, considering that you have six people, you must stop in the middle, driving too fast is tiring and unsafe. Mystras needs to be repaired in the castle on the mountain and the monastery below, Monemvasia also has a castle on top of the mountain and a town crossing, they are all not small, they need a lot of time, I think each point a day is very rushed, relatively speaking, Delphi, Olympia and the Theatre are small points (although they are not small), your itinerary on the 14th is really impossible to do, you have to go from Monemvasia to Nafplion to Epidaurus and then go to Cape Colonna and back to the Temple of Poseidon and back to Athens, you basically have no time to shop, just drive. I really suggest you delete some points and enjoy the leisure of Greece～ ? Greece Q&A
