Why travel by ferry from Athens to Koufonissia?

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

Enjoy a very attentive staff
Blue Star Ferries, Hellenic Seaways or Sea Jets staff will be at your disposal from the moment the ship leaves Athens until it leaves Koufonissia. They will orient you in the ship, guide you to your cabin, serve you in the restaurant and answer any questions you may have. An information desk is almost always located on the main deck of the ship.
Not to be bored on board... unlike the plane
Generally speaking, to get to Koufonissia 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 Koufonissia ferry journey with Sea Jets, Hellenic Seaways or Blue Star Ferries, there are countless opportunities to enjoy restaurants and bars, or to stroll and sunbathe on a promenade deck... You will never have so much freedom and entertainment during a flight!
So you don't have to worry about the amount of luggage
With the train, bus or plane, an excess of one free piece of luggage is often applied and each additional piece of luggage generates an additional cost. On the Athens Koufonissia 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 Koufonissia. However, it is worth asking the Blue Star Ferries, Hellenic Seaways or Sea Jets staff if the ship has a luggage storage facility where you can leave your bags until you reach Koufonissia.
