Artemis
Small conventional car ferry · operated by Hellenic Seaways
A veteran of the Saronic Gulf now doing a long, multi-stop loop of the western Cyclades - not glamorous, but a workhorse that has served under three different names and half a dozen operators since 1997.
Previously sailed as Georgios 2.
