Why travel by ferry from Diafani to Athens?

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

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 Diafani, you are free to take as much luggage as you like, as long as it is contained in your vehicle. If you are travelling without a car, then you will be restricted in your movements throughout the journey to Athens. However, many ships provide luggage storage for foot passengers. Check with Blue Star Ferries, ANEK Lines or Aigaion Pelagos.
To get some sea air
The health benefits of the sea have long been proven. During the Diafani-Athens 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 Athens feeling perfectly zen and energised.
Resting in a cabin
Although it is not compulsory to make the crossing from Diafani 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.
