These lists include services within . Fares on regular services are regulated by the government, though tickets issued by one company cannot be used on another firm's ship. Higher fares are charged for and other fast craft. Some ships and fast have superior reserved seats at higher fares. Departures from major ports are co-ordinated by the port police who can be contacted for information; ticket agents usually only supply details of the ships they represent. There is no reliable source of information on schedules which often change with little advance notice. Some Greek daily papers include timetables; the most comprehensive are in the business paper 'H NAYTEMΠOPIKH' ("I Naftemporiki"). The daily 'INTERNATIONAL NEW YORK TIMES' is sold in Greece with an English edition of the Greek paper 'KATHIMERINI' which lists the day's departures from Pireas and Rafina. Greek ships always bear their name on the stern in the Greek alphabet, while larger ships usually have the name in the Roman alphabet on the bows. Names can be transliterated in various ways, so that the FESTOS PALACE for instance may be advertised as the PHAESTOS PALACE. Several ships' names include "Ayios" (meaning "Saint") which may be rendered as "AGIOS", "AGHIOS" or "AG". ______
