Why travel by ferry from Athens to Sifnos?

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

No need to worry about travelling with your bike
On the train, bus or plane, it is often very complicated and sometimes impossible to travel with this cumbersome companion: your bike. However, on a ferry, you don't have this problem: your bike is loaded directly into the ship's huge garage. You leave it there for the duration of the Athens-Sifnos crossing in complete safety and without fear of it being damaged. You will find it when you disembark on your arrival in Sifnos.
It's much less boring than on a plane
Generally speaking, to get to Sifnos or anywhere else, the plane is the fastest way. But it's not always pleasant to be tied to your seat for long hours. During the Athens Sifnos ferry journey with Aegean Speed Lines, Aegean Sea Lines, Hellenic Seaways, Sea Jets or Zante Ferries, there are countless opportunities to enjoy restaurants and bars, or to stroll and sunbathe on a promenade deck... A totally different experience to flying!
For the comfort of a cabin
Although it is not compulsory to make the crossing from Athens to Sifnos 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. While their use is most obvious on an overnight crossing, it is perfectly possible to book one during the day.
