Why take a ferry from Chalki to Athens ?

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

Resting in a cabin
Although it is not compulsory to book a cabin for the crossing from Chalki to Athens, you are depriving yourself of a comfort that the ferry is the only mode of transport to offer. Like real hotel rooms, they offer travelers beds, bathrooms and, for some suites, portholes and balconies. If their use is more obvious during a night crossing, it is perfectly possible to book one during the day.
To get some sea air
The health benefits of the sea have long been proven. During the Chalki-Athens crossing, access the outside of the Aigaion Pelagos, Blue Star Ferries or ANEK Lines 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 Athens perfectly zen and full of energy.
Not to be bored on board... unlike the plane
Generally, to get to Athens or anywhere else, the plane is the fastest way. The problem is that you are stuck in your seat for several hours. During the Chalki Athens ferry trip with ANEK Lines, Blue Star Ferries or Aigaion Pelagos, there are countless opportunities for entertainment with restaurants and bars, or to stroll and sunbathe on a promenade deck... The services and the level of freedom during a flight are radically different!
