Please help me with these questions regarding my planning a trip to the Greek islands. Checking the trips offered by expedia and exit.ca, I wasn't so happy with the hotels and I'm thinking to build my own trip where I can stay in the hotels I chose, on the island I chose. Now, my concern is how to travel between these islands? My plan is to stay to 3 or 4 different islands but I don't know if it’s relatively easy to find a boat or a ship to transfer from one island to another. If I rent a car in Athens, can I put it on these ships too? Or is better to rent at each island a new car without being forced to ship them with me? I would really appreciate if somebody can give me an insight of these issues!

Thank you very much!
