Why travel by ferry from Athens to Diafani?

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

To get some sea air
The health benefits of the sea have long been proven. During the Athens-Diafani crossing, access the outside areas of the Blue Star Ferries, ANEK Lines or Aigaion Pelagos 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 Diafani feeling perfectly zen and energised.
To not get tired, unlike in the car
Driving for miles on end is not very relaxing, especially if you add the risk of traffic jams and accidents. The Athens Diafani ferry trip is exactly the opposite. On board, depending on the Blue Star Ferries, ANEK Lines or Aigaion Pelagos ship in service, everything is designed to give you time to relax in the calm of comfortable reclining lounges, to lounge on the outside decks, to entertain and to have fun. You're sure to start your holiday in Diafani already rested.
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. However, when you board a Blue Star Ferries, ANEK Lines or Aigaion Pelagos ferry in Athens, you are free to take as much luggage as you like, as long as it is contained in your vehicle. 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 Diafani.
