Flying Dolphin Athina
Passenger hydrofoil ("flying dolphin") · operated by Aegean Flying Dolphins
A veteran hydrofoil built in Soviet-era Georgia and renamed more times than most ships manage in a career — today it does the short, brisk hop from Piraeus to Aegina and Agistri, no frills, just speed.
Previously sailed as Flying Dolphin Vardaris, Blue Delphin I and Delfini V.
