"I don't know if it was cheap, but it was VERY easy. "
1. Check-in (online) was easy. 2. Finding the port was easy. 3. Getting onboard with car, two people and a large dog was easy. 4. Finding our cabin was easy. (Special note - the shower in there would not be out of place in an expensive hotel!) 5. Finding the kennel area for exercising the dog was easy. 6. Finding food and drink during the trip was easy. The coffee was surprisingly good. 7. Getting back to the car was easy. All in all, the trip is a lot more expensive than flying, However, it's not easy to take a car and 100kg or more of luggage with you on a plane, and our dog would be terrified as soon as the plane set off. So ... not an option. The ferry, however, is a remarkably efficient way of getting everything from A to B. Or, in our case, Athens to Karpathos.

"Racist and inept "
We booked a ferry passing from Kos to Rhodes departing at 5:20. We left our accommodation at 4:00am and arrived at the port at 4:30 as the confirmation email had informed us that last check-in was 30 minutes prior to departure. When we arrived, the kiosk was shut and several other people were confused waiting outside. After waiting for an hour (5:30), staff members finally arrived to commence check in of passengers. It was evident that the staff members were informed of the delay and passengers were not. In total, we waited for an hour and a half for the ferry departure. However, most significant and disgusting was not the ineptitude of staff, but their discriminatory behaviour towards other passengers. Before we even got onto the ferry, a member of staff checked the passports of a select few individuals. All of these individuals were of ethnic minority and had clearly been racially profiled. One of the individuals raised this issue (rightly so) asking why only they had been requested to show their passports. The blatantly racist staff member denied race as a motivating factor despite not demanding passports from anyone white. This was absolutely foul for us to witness so it is unimaginable for those people who were unjustly discriminated against based on their ethnicity. As staff members representing a company that covers a broad spatial range, perhaps they should practice human decency to prevent social injustice in the future. Racial profiling is vulgar, inappropriate and at the very least illegal. Previous reviews on trip advisor have also reported racist behaviour from staff members so it is likely this is not a singular occurrence. Extremely disappointed and frankly disgusted

"A disaster this time"
After years of good service from direct ferries and Blue star we came to the port on Mon 5th August to catch our ferry from Syros to Piraeus at 16.00pm. We asked an official at the port and he showed us where to wait. It was very hot and the only places were in the sun. People tried to tell us but " it was all Greek to me" !!! excuse the pun. At 3.55pm, a fast ferry came in and we were told to RUN to catch it as the blue star had been delayed for 4 hours!!! we received no txt on either of our mobiles. `Th captain of the fast ferry then said NO to us and left the port leaving us exhausted and stranded. We had to hang around the port until 20.00pm and it left at 20.30pm. We had ordered a taxi from the hotel to meet us and that was a disaster too as they were therefore not there to meet us and we had to get another taxi and spend three days getting the firm to agree to give us our money back Altogether it would have been proper to have been txt us when the boat was delayed so we could change our tickets like everyone else did. It was a horrendous end to our wonderful holiday. very very upset and dissatisfied.

We had our booking reference with us which did not mention anywhere that we needed to print tickets. The ship arrived and a chaotic frenzy ensued with cars driving through crowds of people. I presented my printed reference but we were not allowed on the ship. None of the staff could speak any English (apart from saying ‘tickets’ and pointing back towards the town. I had to sprint about 200m in searing heat into an office packed with English speaking tourists to try and get my tickets printed and make it back to the ship where my family were already on board.

"Our trip to Paros Blue Star Ferries"
During the '70's I did the hippy route through Europe ending up in Athens and then island hopping on the ferries ....it was a wonderful experience and I visited many islands. This year , 40 years later, I visited Athens again and had the choice of flying to Paros or getting the ferry. I took Blue Star Ferries which was definitely the best decision , I loved every minute it. Obviously the ferries are completely different !! We sat at the back on the top deck....and watched as dolphins swam and leapt over the ships wash . The choice of food was excellent as were all the facilities on board. Thank you Blue Star for bringing back some unforgettable experiences.

For us it was changed to 3-4 hours (before from what we booked) from Rhodes....lucky for us we landed on Rhodes 10.55....if we have bought flight tickets for the first boat around 8 pm.....landing let's say 3 pm....we would have missed the boat after the change in schedule. Then we should have spend a night in Rhodes + the hotel in Symi (which we had paid up front) would have been lost.

"Ferry to Paros"
Our first experience of a ferry and it was great, smooth sailing and a comfortable ride, would recommend buying the airplane style seating for extra comfort on longer trips and confirmed seating. Lots of passengers, ourselves included, seemed to have issues finding their seats so better signage would be an improvement. Plus often other passengers were sitting in seats not allocated to them which can be difficult to communicate when there is a language barrier - staff could have been more helpful in these situations. Would recommend bringing your own food and drink on board as the catering provided was over priced.

In response on the phone, yet again, direct ferries did nothing to remedy the situation or issue a refund. New tickets had to be bought at the ferry out of pocket by two travelling students. Extremely disappointed with this company.

I had really high expectations of my trip. However, the ship being extremely clean and tidy with all facilities the staff was highly rude and inconsiderate. I was on a wheelchair due to a recent accident and while leaving the ship I was aksed to walk with my crutches. When I argued back only then I was given the wheelchair and was so carelessly taken care off with banging the wheelchair and my leg on suitcases. The person who took me saw me try and walk myself but wasn’t even considerate enough to offer help. My recent trip with Golden Star Ferries was comparatively way better in regard to staff courtesy.

Ferry was on time and there was plenty of seating. We booked airseats but never used them as we moved around the ship following the sun. Only one slight negative would be the storage of large bags.

"Which Port In Rhodes?"
The blue star ferry Patmos is great ship with a great crew. There is plenty of space to suit your mood and the food and drink services are good quality at reasonable price. We were particularly impressed with crew man who demonstrated safeties on the rear top open air deck. We are so used to printing boarding cards on A4 at home to access our flights effortlessly (including Ageian Air). Do not think this is the case with any of the amazing Greek ferry companies we have been on this being our first experience. You need to exchange your A4 for a proper ticket at the company kiosk Rhodes port is Enormous so know your departure terminal It's obvious of course and you don't know what you don't know until your flicking though the paper work Sitting in your special seats on the 5:30 Easyjet Gatwick departure to Rhodes (Great flight by the way) So if your a first timer:- use a travel company and book your transfer taxi Direct ferries need impove process and location of boat in their paperwork. Once your know all this "it's plane sailing" Conclusion Blue star Ferries are top notch and would sail again and again The support with baggage on the boat was fab and you need to make more of how you care for our bags.

"Enjoyable and pleasant"
My husband and I have recently returned from our holiday in Greece. We travelled from Pireaus to Lipsi and returned to Pireaus the following week. On our journey there, we enjoyed the luxuries of the ship, sampling the cuisine and relaxing in the many lounges available throughout. We made use of the WiFi to keep in touch with family and friends, and we spent time walking the different decks and experiencing the gorgeous views of the Aegean Sea. The crew were friendly, professional and helpful. They were available to answer any questions we had, and were comfortable in speaking English, which was one of our concerns prior to travel. Across from the purser's desk, we noticed a "live" map of Greece and the surrounding Aegean Sea, and we watched the red arrow marking our progress on our journey, much like we find in air travel. The ship's crew were mindful of safety as we boarded and disembarked the ship, and they tended to our comfort with personal requests for medicine to help with sea sickness as the waters were a bit rough at one point. Upon our return, we chose to hire a cabin for the night, and we found the facilities were top notch: clean, roomy, many amenities, full en suite bathroom, soft beds and pillows, desks and chairs, space for our luggage, and plenty of light. We slept in comfort for the evening and woke refreshed and ready for our next adventure. I couldn't be more pleased with our experience. I look forward to enjoying our next holiday to Greece with Blue Star Ferries.

We upgraded to business class on the ferry for 9€, and had a table in the front of the lounge on both trips. It was supercomfortable and relaxing, we could spread out, have a nap and a snack when we felt like it, easy and quick to get on and off, and on the return trip we arrived at our hotel before our friends who'd opted for flying. It's a no-brainer; I'll recommend the ferry every time.

We have travelled on Blue Star ferries as foot passengers a number of times. We have found them to be excellent value for money, the ferries are ultra modern and offer great on-board facilities. The staff are helpful and the whole service very efficient. The catering is reasonable, but some items are a little pricey. The only negative is that most of the tables in the outside areas are rarely cleaned. We love to travel on the outside part so you can see other islands passing by and still enjoy the wonderful Greek sun, but most of the tables are dirty and/or sticky. We usually clean our own off to use. A minor point, and it would never stop us from using Blue Star, but it is irritating. Other than that, the ship is well maintained, and very clean in most other areas. They provide very comfortable, air-conditioned indoor seating and lots of space to relax.

It is also much cheaper than the Sea Jets.Going to Donoussa I travelled at night and so reserved seats which were very comfortable. Returning, we travelled during the day and so sat outside.

A lot has happened with ferries in Greece since I visited in the nineties. Now, fast and sleek jet ferries have taken a lot of the market. They'll get you there, but you will be more or less locked to your seat for the entire voyage. The Blue Star line operates slower, but comfortable ferries. You can stroll three decks or choose to sit inside for the duration. So, if you prefer ferries like back in the day - only with better services - and don't care if the trip takes longer, the Blue Star is a good choice.

"Great but very busy"
Ship was on time, but it was very busy and hence somewhat chaotic aboard. Safety instruction was very serious this time. Ship could be cleaner, but this was also due to the large crowds. Advance booking in the class you need is recommended during the high season!

"Ferry to Paros"
A very smooth and comfortable journey both ways. Excellent seating. I had moussaka for lunch in the restaurant and it was delicious. Crew were mainly polite and helpful. I have used this ship before and would definitely recommend.

"Poor sailor"
Nervous sea traveller. Booked business class and was very impressed with facilities.i could put my feet up in quiet atmosphere when the sea was rough. The experience has changed my thoughts for the better on sailing.the only downside was the crush on disembarking especially with a suitcase to carry. Thank for a pleasant trip Blue Star.
