What are the necessary supporting documents?
Deputies will have discounts on ferry and plane tickets teachers Primary and Secondary Education, during the holidays (Christmas, New Year and Epiphany) in order to move to their place of residence and vice versa.
In particular, with a joint initiative of the Ministries of Education, Religious Affairs and Sports and Maritime and Island Policy, discounts of up to 50% are announced on ferry tickets of substitute teachers. Specifically:
Fast Ferries provides a 30% discount for passengers and 20% for vehicles (from 22/12/2023 to 7/1/2024),

It is worth noting that the SkyExpress airline discount of 30% for the issuance of ten (10) airline tickets per interested party is still valid.
The Minister of Education, Religion and Sports Kyriakos Pierrakakis warmly thanks the Minister of Shipping and Island Policy Christos Stylianidis as well as the ferry companies and the airline Sky Express for their immediate response to the request of the Ministry of Finance for the provision of the above facilities.
The initiative is part of the ongoing care but also of the essential recognition of the work of our teachers who offer their best in the educational process.
