Agapitos Express Ferries
A ridiculous site belonging to a very inefficient ferry company that sold up two years ago. This web site is a typical example: all the boats now belong to Hellas Flying Dolphins. All the info on this site is seriously out-of-date. It is mentioned here because this site is still thrown up by search engines.

ANEK Lines
The official ANEK On Line site. Still partially under construction, it offers online booking. Arrangement of the timetable information isn't very good.

ANEK Lines (2)
The Paleologos Travel Agency site page for ANEK: offer's online booking between Piraeus and Crete (Iraklion & Chania). ANEK timetable info is better presented here.

ANEN Lines
The advertised site for the one boat company (the terrible Myrtidiotissa) ANEK. So far only an 'under construction' page.

DANE Sea Lines
Pictures of the fleet and sailing times between ports, but NO timetables. An old web site - doesn't appear to have been updated since 1997.

Dodekanisos Speedways
Useful site containing the timetable of the invaluable, but hard to track down, catamaran that operates out of Rhodes up the Dodecanese. You will find the timetable (sadly only in Greek) on the 'dodeknisos seaways' page.

GA Ferries
Offers links between Piraeus, Naxos, Paros, Ios, Syros, Santorini, Iraklion, Tinos, Mykonos, Skiathos, Thessalonika, Samos, Ikaria, Kos, Kalimnos, Leros, Patmos, and Rhodes. At the moment this web site doesn't add up to much: it offers just a basic route map and an 'under construction' page.

Hellas Flying Dolphins / Hellas Ferries
A very good site with access to a database of all sailings by Hellas Flying Dolphins/ Hellas Ferries / Sporades Ferries / Saronikos Ferries, along with ship statistics and some photos.

ILIO Lines
Timetable for the H/F Cyclone. Great page but for one thing - the timetable is for 1999 and the boat isn't running this year.

LANE Lines
Ferries to Piraeus, Milos, Crete ( Agios Nikolaos, Sitia ), Kassos, Karpathos, Diafani, Chalki, and Rhodes. Timetables for all ports (though still showing 1999 departures). Online reservations.

Miniotis Ferries
A full timetable for boats out of Chios to Samos, Patmos, Ikaria, Lesbos and the Turkish Coast.

Minoan Lines
Timetables for boats running to Piraeus, Crete, Santorini, Paros, Naxos, Volos, Skiathos, Thessalonika. The site includes domestic Minoan/ Minoan High Speed boats. Timetables (currently 1999) and online booking.

Minoan Flying Dolphins (now Hellas Flying Dolphins)
A very good site with access to a database of all sailings by Hellas Flying Dolphins/ Hellas Ferries / Sporades Ferries / Saronikos Ferries, along with ship statistics and some photos.

NEL Lines
The major company running between Piraeus, Syros, Chios, Psara, Mytilini (Lesbos), Volos, Limnos, Kavala, and Thessalonika, Just a basic home page at the moment. Page under construction on the Paleologos site.

Strintzis Lines (Blue Star Ferries)
Another site built by Paleologos: this one has times of all Strintzis/Blue Star/Blue Line ferries. Buried among the international departures are timetables for the domestic boats between Patras, Kilini, Kefalonia, and Ithaca. Also between Rafina, Andros, Syros, Tinos, and Mykonos.
