subject: Superfast Ferries: A Great Company To Travel Between Greece And Italy [print this page] Greek islands are known all over the world and they are very popular with travelers and tourists globally. Many people prefer to reach the different islands by ferry, although many destinations also have airport. Apart from reaching different islands, ferry services also operate between Greece and Italy on regular basis. There are many companies that operate ferry services between Greece and Italy and also between the various islands in Greece. Superfast Ferries is one such company that is operating ferry services between Italy and Greece. The company was founded by Alexander Panagopulos and Pericles Panagopulos in the year 1993. Headquartered in Athens, the capital of Greece, the company is one of the esteemed members of the Attica Group.
This maritime company operates ferries in the Adriatic Sea and in the Aegean Sea. There are five brand new car passenger ferries that are operated by the company with ultra modern facilities in them. These ferries operate on daily basis between Patras and Igoumenitsa (in Greece) as well as between Ancona and Bari (in Italy). Apart from these, there are ferry services between Piraeus and Heraklion as well. The ferry services between the last two ports continue all round the year. There was a time when Superfast Ferries operated ferries in Europe, in the North Sea and in many parts of the Baltic Sea. But slowly, the company shifted its focus to the Greece-Italy ferry service and has been serving innumerable passengers in traveling between the two countries easily.
Superfast Ferries have their own website and all kinds of information regarding the routes and the ferry services can be obtained from there. While some people love to travel on the deck of the ferry in the economy class, some others prefer to stay inside the ferry in a proper room. It is obvious that the rates of seats on the deck are cheaper than cabins. Therefore, if you are planning a trip from Greece to Italy, it is recommended that you book tickets quite in advance to avoid any kind of hassle later.
Various kinds of discounts and offers are also there from time to time. There are family offers in which if round trip tickets are purchased one and a half months before the date of departure, good amount of discounts are offered. In the air seat and deck offer, almost 20% on the fare can be saved if round trip tickets are booked for the journey. Youths below the age of 25 years are also eligible for discounts. Senior citizens over the age of 65 are entitled to 10% discounts in ferry ticket fares. Such discounts change from year to year and also vary depending on the route.
