Why travel by ferry from Venice to Patras?

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

Taking your time becomes a pleasure
We live in a society where everything goes faster and faster. On board a Minoan Lines, Superfast Ferries or ANEK Lines ferry you will enjoy a smooth start from Venice and sailing at less than 40km/h to Patras. All ships are equipped with lounges, restaurants, promenade decks, and sometimes much more... You may even find your Venice-Patras crossing a little too short!
Transporting your bike is not a problem
Travelling with your bike on a train, plane or bus is often a nightmare because it is so cumbersome to carry. This is not the case on the ferry. Like any vehicle, your two-wheeler will be parked in the ship's garage. You leave it there for the duration of the Venice-Patras crossing in complete safety and without fear of it being damaged. You will get on your bike in Patras to get off the boat.
Resting in a cabin
Although booking a cabin on the Venice to Patras crossing is optional, it is a comfort that should be enjoyed. Equipped with berths, private bathrooms and sometimes even portholes or balconies, the cabins are not unlike real hotel rooms. Even on a day crossing, enjoying the privacy of a cabin is still possible and much more comfortable than sitting in a lounge.
