Why take a ferry from Ydra to Athens ?

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

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 Ydra 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.

Although it is not compulsory to book a cabin for the crossing from Ydra 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.
