Ferry to Thassos (Keramoti - Limenas, ~35 min): car ~€22, adult ~€6. For a family car with two people - around €34-40 one way. Tickets are bought at the port.
Enter where you are setting off from, where you are going and how many nights - the calculator adds up fuel, tolls, the ferry and accommodation.
The estimate is a rough guide: fuel is at ~€1.97/l in Greece, accommodation at a mid-range price for the region. The real cost depends on your choices.
For two people in the north (Pieria, Thassos): modestly around €100-150 a day, mid-range €200-320. For 7 days, reckon a rough €900-1,500 for two, plus fuel and tolls. On Santorini and Mykonos it is 3-5 times more expensive.
Greece has tolls (diodia), not a vignette. From the border to Thessaloniki it is about €3 (the Evzoni station ~€2.95). To Athens it is around €40 in total one way. Pay in cash (euros) or by card.
From Keramoti to Limenas (~35 min): car around €22, adult around €6. For a family car with two adults - around €34-40 one way. Tickets are bought at the port; there is no online booking.
