Do ferry tickets sell out in Greece?
Most ferries do not sell out. But for peace of mind, book tickets 2 to 3 months in advance. If a ticket purchased online doesn't have a barcode that usually means you'll need to pick up a paper ticket when in Greece. This is most often done at the ferry port 30 to 45 minutes before departure.
