Fast Ferries

Fast Ferries is a Greek shipping company established in 1989 by the Panagiotakis brothers. Operating from the port of Rafina to the Cyclades, the company connects Athens with Andros, Tinos, Mykonos, Naxos and Paros year-round. In summer it adds seasonal lines from Piraeus to the Cyclades — including Serifos, Sifnos, Milos, Folegandros, Ios and Santorini — and from Alexandroupolis to Samothraki and Limnos.
