Ferry cabins are a great way to relax on the longer ferry routes between Athens and the Greek islands. 

Sleeper cabins are found on Blue Star, Hellenic, Sea Speed, and a few other ferry companies. They are common on routes between Athens, Santorini, Mykonos, Syros, Crete, Rhodes, and Kos. Cabins with beds and private bathrooms are a comfortable way to experience what can be long 8 to 12-hour ferry routes. It does not have to be an overnight ferry to have a sleeping cabin. Cabins can be booked for 2, 3, or 4 guests in one party; or for single travelers in same-sex cabins. To book sleeping bunks or cabins use the FerryHopper search and look for a bed icon which means that ferry has sleepers for rent (at roughly double the price of a typical ticket).

Buying and booking overnight ferries with cabin in Greece.

To book a cabin or a single bunk within a cabin, search for your route on ferryhopper.com and then look for a ferry that has the bed icon. This means there are cabins available on that ferry.
