What is the Teleporio Score™?
The Teleporio Score™ is a single number from 0 to 100 that brings together every factor affecting a Greek island journey — travel time, cost relative to alternatives, sea conditions, connection reliability, route complexity, traveler priority alignment, and seasonal suitability. The Score exists to help travelers choose between ferry and flight options with confidence rather than guesswork. A score of 85 or above indicates an excellent route for the stated priorities. Below 55 signals significant issues that warrant careful review.
The Seven Scoring Factors
Total Journey Time (20% base weight): estimated duration including port arrival buffer, embarkation, crossing, disembarkation, and onward transfer. Cost Relative to Alternatives (18%): fare comparison where route and date information is available. Sea Conditions (18%): forecast wind and sea-state inputs considered alongside the selected vessel and route; these are planning context, not operating thresholds. Connection Margin (15%): time between connections, not a prediction of delay probability. Route Complexity (12%): number of legs, operators, and ports transited. Traveler Priority Alignment (10%): how the route matches the selected planning priority. Seasonal Suitability (7%): seasonal route context; verify current service and timetable directly with the operator.
Priority Modes
The Score offers priority modes for overall comparison, speed, cost, comfort, family travel, pet travel, reliability and environmental considerations. When a priority is selected, the relevant factor weights shift accordingly. A crossing’s result is relative to the selected inputs and priorities, not an absolute ranking or service guarantee.
What the Score Does Not Do
The Teleporio Score does not guarantee a booking, predict exact sea conditions, or replace traveler judgment. It is not influenced by commercial relationships — Teleporio does not accept payment to improve a route's score. All scores are illustrative and should be confirmed against live operator schedules and current conditions before booking.
How to Use the Teleporio Score in Practice
Use the Score to compare the inputs available for the selected date and route. Forecasts and schedules can change, and a difference between departures does not establish which sailing will operate or feel more comfortable. Check live availability, fare terms, forecast and current operator or port notices before booking. If a missed connection would have serious consequences, consider adding time or an alternative plan regardless of the Score.
