Why travel by ferry from Athens to Milos?

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

You get much more rest than in the car
Because of the heightened alertness required to drive a car on long journeys, driving is exhausting. The Athens Milos ferry trip is exactly the opposite. Ferries operated by Aegean Sea Lines, LANE Sea Line, Minoan Lines, Zante Ferries, ANEK Lines or Aegean Speed Lines are designed with areas dedicated to relaxation or entertainment: lounges or cabins, outdoor solarium, bars and restaurants... You arrive in Milos stress-free and totally relaxed.
Enjoy the fresh sea air
The health benefits of the sea have long been proven. During the Athens-Milos crossing, access the outside areas of the Aegean Sea Lines, LANE Sea Line, Minoan Lines, Zante Ferries, ANEK Lines or Aegean Speed Lines ship to take a deep breath of air. The fresh sea air and the waves that rock the ferry will soothe you instantly. You'll arrive in Milos feeling perfectly zen and energised.
Resting in a cabin
Although it is not compulsory to make the crossing from Athens to Milos by booking a cabin, you are depriving yourself of a comfort that the ferry is the only mode of transport to offer. Equipped with berths, private bathrooms and sometimes even portholes or balconies, the cabins are not unlike real hotel rooms. Even on a day crossing, enjoying the privacy of a cabin is still possible and much more comfortable than sitting in a lounge.
