Why travel by ferry from Chalki to Athens?

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

Resting in a cabin
Although it is not compulsory to make the crossing from Chalki to Athens by booking a cabin, you are depriving yourself of a comfort that the ferry is the only mode of transport to offer. Like real hotel rooms, they offer travellers beds, bathrooms and, in some suites, portholes and balconies. While their use is most obvious on an overnight crossing, it is perfectly possible to book one during the day.
To get some sea air
The health benefits of the sea have long been proven. During the Chalki-Athens crossing, access the outside areas of the Aigaion Pelagos, Blue Star Ferries or ANEK 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 Athens feeling perfectly zen and energised.
Not to be bored on board... unlike the plane
Generally speaking, to get to Athens or anywhere else, the plane is the fastest way. The problem is that you are stuck in your seat for several hours. During the Chalki Athens ferry journey with ANEK Lines, Blue Star Ferries or Aigaion Pelagos, there are countless opportunities to enjoy restaurants and bars, or to stroll and sunbathe on a promenade deck... The services and the level of freedom during a flight are radically different!
