Greek island pass - travel day

I’m going to answer myself on this one, after so many questions and so many run arounds… The paper pass is hardly avaiable anywhere. You need to order yours and cross your fingers that you ever receive it. It’s not being offered electronically or digitally now, OLD SCHOOL paper version only in which you need a code from the actual pass to make a reservation over the phone with someone in Greece. EURAIL website, Please add this info on the website and stop wasting our time.

Can't book reservations via email - Greek Island Pass; no response

I have just called SNCF and I was told they do not have any offices in all of France that sell Greek Island PAPER PASS. They directed me to go online and purchase it. The RENFE office directed me to one of their stations in Madrid, my gf went yesterday and she was told they don’t sell them either, they didn’t sell any Eurail passes at all. Only Interail. SO COMPLICATED, I wish the main Eurail website would just post some of this very important information on their website, as this forum is alot of run around. Been over a week of questions and answers and I’m still completely LOST.

Can't book reservations via email - Greek Island Pass; no response

I called RENFE yesterday, I was told that stations listed under Eurail aid offices would be able to help. I asked if the Charmatin Station (which is listed on EURAIL website) sells the pass, I was told YES!  Since I have a friend in Madrid, she walked 1 hour to said station, stood in 2 different lines at the end… they DONT HAVE THEM. How is this pass only meant for foreigners yet so difficult for foreigners to obtain? My girlfriend will go to another bigger station tomorrow that sells Eurail. Hopefully they have the greek paper pass there. :/

Greek island pass - paper, will not arrive in time. Can't find mobile option

@rvdborgt Thank you I just called the RENFE office in Spain, I was told that I can buy the paper pass at any of the stations listed under the “Eurail Aid Offices”. Luckily there is one in Madrid, my girlfriend is walking over there now. I’m crossing my fingers! @AnnaB thanks I know it’s only avaialable in paper pass, if only that answer was all it took. It’s very complicated for Americans to purchase this, how is this only available to FOREIGNERS yet make it sooo complicated to purchase and actually use it. If I wasnt traveling with kids, I wouldn’t care. But we are a party of 5-7 so savings on this pass and planning are essential.

The Greek Island Pass is only available as a paper pass.  Where can I buy this in person. I will be in France, Spain and Greece. Any factual info is greatly appreciated.

Greek island pass - travel day

@mcadv thanks, I read other conversations where people are commenting about not being able to find them at the ports. If I do wait to buy last minute at the port, reservations are via email or over the phone. Not sure if I will have good reception and the patience to wait for replies with kids with me, I’m traveling with my 3 children and a couple of friends.

@rvdborgt thanks for your response! Now I am not sure if I should purchase online because I won’t get the passes in time, I travel in 1 month. I think another option is to purchase in person at a place in Europe like Paris or Madrid? Apparently you need a  # that can only be obtained from the actual paper pass to make a reservation. What a mess this is… any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again
