New Ferry Routes To Connect Thessaloniki With More Destinations In Greece
Two new ferry routes, one began on June 15, 2018 and the other to begin soon, will connect Thessaloniki with the Sporades islands, Cyclades, and Crete. The Greek ferry company Golden Star Ferries recently launched their service departing from Thessaloniki and going to Skiathos, Skopelos and Alonissos.

Itineraries of both vessels will be daily and run until September 9.

The Golden Star Super Speed

There will also be a local Volos - Skiathos - Volos route, which will depart every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday morning.

Additionally, the Cyclades islands will be linked with Thessaloniki and Crete via a bi-weekly ferry service, which will be launched in the near future. This ferry service was recently announced by the Alternate Shipping Minister Nektarios Santorinios during the 15th Regional Conference held on Syros.

The route will run twice a week for three months and will connect Thessaloniki, Skiathos, Syros, and other Cyclades islands with Heraklion, Crete.

Santorinios also announced that every Friday and Sunday, a high-speed ferry will depart from Piraeus linking Heraklion with the Cyclades, Syros, and Santorini.
