New Ferry Connection Links Thessaloniki with North Aegean and Cyclades Islands

Greek passenger shipping company Attica Group recently launched a new ferry connection between the port of Thessaloniki and islands of North Aegean and the Cyclades.

The new service is operated by the company’s F/B Blue Star Myconos following the signing of a public service contract.

The sailing of the F/B Blue Star Myconos starts from Thessaloniki with intermediate calls at the islands of Limnos, Lesvos, Chios, Samos, Fourni, Ikaria, Mykonos and Syros. Its final destination is the port of Piraeus.

“The deployment of the Blue Star Myconos fulfills a long-standing request both from passengers and transportation companies, to directly connect Thessaloniki with the islands of the North Aegean and the Cyclades,” Attica Group said in an announcement.

Together with itineraries from the port of Kavala, Attica Group now serves Northern Greece from two ports, offering alternative solutions to passengers and goods.

Attica Group is engaged in passenger shipping through Superfast Ferries, Blue Star Ferries, Hellenic Seaways and Africa Morocco Link, operating 32 vessels and providing modern, high-quality transportation services in Greece and abroad.

Attica’s vessels serve 60 unique destinations in 4 countries, connecting 71 ports and transporting over 7 million passengers, 1 million passenger vehicles and 400,000 trucks every year.
