Essential Guidelines for Travelling with Pets

When planning your trip between Tilos and {{FERRY_LINK:ferry_port:276:en:Halki}} with a domestic animal, keep the following practical requirements in mind:

• Pet Registration: You must declare your pet when booking your passage. Depending on the vessel, pet slots or specific accommodations may need to be reserved ahead of time.
• Health Records: Always travel with your pet’s official health passport or vaccination booklet. Port officials or crew members may verify that mandatory vaccinations, such as rabies, are up to date.
• Onboard Areas: Animals are generally allowed on outer open decks when kept under supervision. Pets are typically restricted from entering enclosed public lounges, restaurants, and cabin areas unless staying in dedicated pet-friendly cabins.
• Restraint and Carriers: Dogs must remain on a leash and wear a muzzle when moving through public outdoor areas. Smaller pets should stay inside a secure, well-ventilated carrier for the duration of the journey.

To make the voyage stress-free, bring a sufficient supply of water, a portable bowl, and waste bags. Checking the specific vessel amenities before your travel date helps ensure a smooth departure from either port.
