Moving around in Greece - transportation
Greece has a fairly developed transport infrastructure. There are many airports in the country, most of which are international. Domestic airlines connect the capital with major tourist cities and islands. Sea communication is also well-developed. Some believe that water transport in Greece is excellent. A huge number of ferries and ships run from the islands to the mainland around the clock. Together with ships, small boats and large cruise liners carry passengers. The largest and most significant port is in Athens; it is called Piraeus. Despite such a developed water communication, many archipelagoes are still not connected with each other, so tourists have to plan transfers.
