Why take a ferry from Athens to Mytilene ?

Whether you're travelling solo, with a partner or with the family, a Athens to Mytilene ferry can be a convenient and enjoyable option for getting to Mytilene. Here are 3 reasons why we think Athens to Mytilene ferry is an ideal way to travel.

Enjoy the fresh sea air
The health benefits of the sea have long been proven. During the Athens-Mytilene crossing, access the outside of the Hellenic Seaways or Blue Star Ferries ship to take a breath of fresh air. The fresh sea air and the waves that rock the ferry will instantly soothe you. You'll arrive in Mytilene perfectly zen and full of energy.
Taking your time becomes a pleasure
We live in a society where everything goes faster and faster. However, you will appreciate setting sail from Athens on a Hellenic Seaways or Blue Star Ferries ferry that will travel the 172 mi to Mytilene at less than 40km/h. All ships are equipped with a multitude of services (bar, restaurants, lounges, entertainment, etc...). It is even likely that you will regret arriving in Mytilene so quickly!
Not to worry about the number of bags
One piece of luggage is free, all the others must be paid for. This is often the formula used when we travel with other modes of transportation, which very often leads to a significant increase in the bill. On the Athens Mytilene ferry, you can take as much luggage as you want, within the capacity of your vehicle. If you are traveling without a car, then you will be restricted in your movements all the way to Mytilene. However, we recommend that you ask the Hellenic Seaways or Blue Star Ferries crew, as luggage lockers are often available for passengers to store their luggage during the crossing.
