Kefalonia
Car ferry, half a century old and still running · operated by Levante Ferries
A genuine Greek ferry veteran - built in Japan in 1975 and still crossing to Kefalonia half a century later, having passed through several owners and two names on the way. Don't expect luxury, but there's a certain charm to a ship this well-travelled.
Previously sailed as Nissos Kefalonia, Kefalonia and Venus.
