Why travel by ferry from Kythira to Athens?

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

For the comfort of a cabin
Although it is not compulsory to make the crossing from Kythira to Athens by booking a cabin, you are depriving yourself of a comfort that the ferry is the only mode of transport to offer. Equipped with berths, private bathrooms and sometimes even portholes or balconies, the cabins are not unlike real hotel rooms. While their use is most obvious on an overnight crossing, it is perfectly possible to book one during the day.
Enjoy the fresh sea air
The health benefits of the sea have long been proven. In Kythira, as soon as you leave the port, take a walk on the deck of the LANE Sea Line, Sea Jets or Lane Sea Lines boat and enjoy the sea spray and the invigorating oxygen-enriched sea air: a real thalasso cure and very effective for ventilating the lungs! 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.
It's much less boring than on a 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 Kythira Athens ferry journey with Lane Sea Lines, Sea Jets or LANE Sea Line, 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!
