Not to be bored on board... unlike the plane
Generally speaking, to get to Folegandros or anywhere else, the plane is the fastest way. The problem is that you are stuck in your seat for several hours. On the other hand, during the Athens Folegandros crossing on the Sea Jets, Aegean Speed Lines, Zante Ferries or LANE Sea Line ferry, you have total freedom in your activities, to eat, walk, entertain or rest. A flight will never provide you with so many services during the trip.
So you don't have to worry about the amount of luggage
With the train, bus or plane, an excess of one free piece of luggage is often applied and each additional piece of luggage generates an additional cost. For the Athens to Folegandros crossing, as long as all your luggage is contained in your car, no supplement is required. If you are travelling as a pedestrian, the conditions may be more restrictive as you will need to carry your luggage with you until you arrive in Folegandros. However, many ships provide luggage storage for foot passengers. Check with LANE Sea Line, Zante Ferries, Aegean Speed Lines or Sea Jets.
To get some sea air
The health benefits of the sea have long been proven. During the Athens-Folegandros crossing, access the outside areas of the LANE Sea Line, Zante Ferries, Aegean Speed Lines or Sea Jets ship to take a deep breath of air. A feeling of well-being will quickly take hold of you. This will allow you to start your holiday in Folegandros full of energy.
