Kefalonia reviews

"excellent experience"
"Excellent trip, excellent service of employees and clean and nice ships"
"Organised kaos. !!!!!!!"

These ferries are fantastic with so many people, cars, buses & tanks getting loaded it still leaves on time, very impressive. The ferry itself is clean and comfortable to travel, the staff are friendly and handled the busy period Rey well. We also went from one ferry to the next with no problems with a 15 minute turnaround and we still made it. Thank you for the excellent experience levante ferries.
"Trip to an island "

Outward journey was on time. Car loaded without any trouble, staff guided you to where you needed to go. Exit to deck easy to find, well signposted. Toilet facilities were clean and tidy. Never used the catering facilities, but there seemed to be plenty of choices for hot/ cold drinks and a variety of foods. Uneventful crossing, arrived in Poros on time and disembarked quickly and efficiently with staff direction. Journey inward on time, uneventful. Car loaded , uneventful. Facilities as before clean and tidy. Catering facilities not used. There are plenty of rubbish receptacles around to dispose of papers etc. Would recommend to anyone travelling to either Zante or Cephalonia for a holiday to use Levante Ferries
