Aeolis
Small local car and passenger lifeline boat · operated by Aeolis Lines
The lifeline of Agios Efstratios, one of Greece's least-visited islands - a small, elderly car ferry that has been making the daily run to Lemnos for decades, not a tourist cruise but the reason the island stays connected at all.

Where the Aeolis sails
Aeolis Lines do not publish which ship works which crossing, so we cannot list her sailings — they file 30 departures over the next 14 days without naming a vessel on any of them. The routes she works are below; the operator's own booking page names the ship once you pick a date.
Usually works Agios Efstratios-Lemnos (Myrina).
- This is effectively the only regular way on or off Agios Efstratios - build your visit around its daily schedule.
- A genuinely small, basic local boat rather than a resort-style ferry; pack accordingly for a no-frills crossing.
