* To book your ferries in advance. 

* Ferry Scanner or Ferry Hopper - I used Ferry Hopper and love their app which shows you in real time where your ferry is. While I would recommend this during the summer/high season, I found it more of a hinderance during shoulder season. A well-traveled couple I met suggested purchasing your ticket for your next destination when you arrive in the new port. So for example once you arrive in Mykonos, purchase your ticket for Paros if you’re going there next.

* Another ferry option.

* Welcome Pickups App - to book ahead for airport pick up or drop off.

* Bounce Luggage Storage App - safe and affordable places to store your luggage.
