Update Minoan Lines
For Greek domestic routes, you don't get free deck passage / air-type seats, but 30% discount on the fares, provided that you already made an Adriatic crossing with Minoan Lines International. This is different from what is stated in the Eurail Traveler Guide. The free deck passage offer is only valid for Minoan's international ferry crossings between Greece and Italy.
