It's much less boring than on a plane

During the Volos Skiathos ferry journey with Aegean Flying Dolphins, Anes Ferries, Sea Jets or Hellenic Seaways, 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!

During the Volos-Skiathos crossing, access the outside areas of the Hellenic Seaways, Sea Jets, Anes Ferries or Aegean Flying Dolphins ship to take a deep breath of air.
