Reaching the hard places
Most travel sites stop at the airport. A great many of the places families actually want to reach — a Greek island, Sardinia, the Croatian coast, Corsica — finish with a boat. These are the crossings that matter, with the airport your journey flies into first, so the ferry is part of the plan instead of a problem you discover later.
Sample estimates, not a quote. The ports, islands and vessel types are facts. The crossing times and fares are our own estimates — no ferry operator is connected to us yet, so we hold no live timetable, no availability and no booking. We would rather say that plainly than show you a number that looks real and is not.

A missed sailing is worse than a missed train: on many of these routes the next one is tomorrow. So when your plan ends with a crossing, our calculation holds a deliberate buffer before the sailing cut-off, counts the road or rail leg to the port, and tells you when a same-day connection is too tight to trust — instead of leaving you to work it out at the quayside.
