Chania III
Small coastal passenger boat (no vehicle deck) · operated by Hellenic Coast Lines
Chania III is not the ship its name suggests -- despite the label, this small mainland boat has nothing to do with Chania or Crete. It links the tiny Pagasetic Gulf communities of Agia Kyriaki and Trikeri Island to Volos, a short crossing through the sheltered waters off the Pelion peninsula.
