Why take a ferry from Mytilene to Athens ?

Whether you're travelling solo, with a partner or with the family, a Mytilene to Athens ferry can be a convenient and enjoyable option for getting to Athens. Here are 3 reasons why we think Mytilene 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 Mytilene 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.
Not to worry about the number of bags
For other modes of transportation, we are often forced to carry only one suitcase, and each additional bag is charged. On the Mytilene Athens 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 Athens. 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.
Enjoy the fresh sea air
The health benefits of the sea have long been proven. During the Mytilene-Athens 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 Athens perfectly zen and full of energy.
