The season of drawn at 1 euro, Sardinia and Greece have never been so close and cheap, or so it seems. Yes, because on closer inspection the offers are many, but on balance there is little money that you really save by booking online.
Unlike low cost flights for which you can find many valid solutions for saving, the ship and the ferry remain at the top of the ranking of pre-holiday rip-offs. Let's make a little bit of clarity and let's see with 3 simple steps how to avoid big and small hassles.
1. once you have seen the advertisement for 1 euro trafficking you have been screwed, the desire for Sardinia remains and if the price is not sky-high you will almost certainly book. Try to travel at night, perhaps by choosing the armchair and even better during the week, not on the weekend. Promotions exist and sometimes someone even says they have used them, of course you have to travel on their terms.
2. be careful to choose too many options, like the cabin or the camper or anything that goes from the starting price all inclusive. Even just choosing the insurance will make you increase the cost of the route in the blink of an eye. Choose carefully where you want to go and make sure that the route and the period are included in the offer or in the end you will find yourself disappointed or without a euro.
3. if you really can't give up on that destination, choose alternative means or routes. The ferry is still a valid means, but the car and the camper if you want to arrive in Greece could save you especially if you intend to sleep in a camping. If you wish to arrive in Sicily or Sardinia, it is good to inquire with the ports of your city or the closest ones where they are often found lesser known vessels and much cheaper than those who make the same journey at a low price, perhaps taking more time.
