Why take a ferry from Athens to Sitia ?

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

Because it's the ideal way to travel with your family!
Traveling by ferry is simply the ideal way to travel between Athens and Sitia when you are with your family and especially with children. Everything is simpler. As soon as you leave Athens, imagine your children discovering the ship, spending long moments playing in the areas reserved for the youngest or in the video games and arcades (for teenagers), watching the latest movies in the cinema, sharing a family meal in the restaurant, or marveling at a magic show or other countless activities. This boat trip between Athens and Sitia will remain an unforgettable moment for your children.
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 Sitia 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 Sitia. However, it is worth asking the Blue Star Ferries, ANEK Lines or Aigaion Pelagos staff if the ship has a luggage room where you can leave your luggage until Sitia.
To not get tired, unlike the car
Because of the increased vigilance required to drive a car on long journeys, one can say that driving is exhausting. The Athens Sitia ferry trip is the opposite! On board, depending on the Blue Star Ferries, ANEK Lines or Aigaion Pelagos ship in service, everything is done to relax in the calm of comfortable reclining lounges, to give you time to yourself, to lounge on the outside decks, to entertain and have fun.
