If you ever went online for ferry connections you find yourself teleported to the late 1990: Horrible websites, missing translations unclear schedules. Here is the thing that I had to draw because it does not exist anywhere else: A freaking map to get a overview of possible car ferry connections that operate in the winter of 2022/23! I hope this helps someone – happy island hopping!
As tradition wants it, we went on our winter thermal spring heist. Which would lead us this time to a place in Hungary, two spots in Romania, one in Bulgaria and many more in Greece located in the northern mainland (Thrace) and the islands of Samothraki, Lesbos and Ikaria. There is a recap of each place and some thermal photography to go along with it. Here are all of them in order by my personal dip rating.
