New Ferry

A new arrival at Piraeus at the start of this year, the 2004-built C/F Adamantios Korais is a small (8324 GRT) regular ferry capable of carrying 1200 passengers. At the moment she is wandering around without a regular itinerary (a common event with new boats in Greece), but her red-and-white Zante Ferries livery rather gives the game away: she is most likely destined to run on the Kilini—Zakinthos / Zante route, replacing one of the older boats there.

New Ferry

ANEK Lines have put a 'new' ferry on the overnight Piraeus—Crete (Chania) route. The 1998-built C/F Elyros is something of a sheep in wolf's clothing. Originally a lorry- orientated ro-ro she has had her entire superstructure rebuilt and enlarged over the last couple of years. She thus looks like one of the new fast ferries without actually being one. This makes little odds on the overnight route she is on, so she is viable (and cheaper) option to the high speed alternatives.
