Welcome to the digital age, albeit with a short delay - as is the case with all things digital in Greece. E-ticketing is already the norm in international traveling, now it's slowly making its way into local tourist transactions too.
Merchant Marine Minister Miltiadis Varvitsiotis paved the way for the launch of the system with a decision, which - once finalized - will enable travelers to use their smartphones to book, purchase and print their own boarding pass online.
According to reports, coastal shipping insiders view the decision as a positive step that will facilitate travel, adding that it will however require ferry companies to draw up an unified system of ticket control.
Varvitsiotis said that the new scheme will create "friendly and efficient services for passengers" and is part of the ministry's ongoing efforts to modernize coastal shipping, boost passenger traffic, optimize passenger ticket control and simplify bureaucratic procedures, contributing in the process to the overall upgrade of services offered.
