Why travel by ferry from Mytilene to Athens?

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

Resting in a cabin
Although it is not compulsory to make the crossing from Mytilene 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.
So you don't have to worry about the amount of luggage
With other modes of transport, we are often limited to 1 piece of luggage, and each additional piece of luggage is charged. On the Mytilene Athens ferry, you can take as much luggage as you like, within the capacity of your vehicle. If you are travelling without a car, then you will be restricted in your movements throughout the journey to Athens. However, it is advisable to ask the crew of Hellenic Seaways or Blue Star Ferries, as luggage lockers are often provided for passengers to store their luggage during the crossing.
Enjoy the fresh sea air
The health benefits of the sea have long been proven. During the Mytilene-Athens crossing, access the outside areas of the Hellenic Seaways or Blue Star Ferries 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.
