Ferry from Crete to Piraeus

It’s a nine-hour run across the Mirtoon Sea from Souda to Piraeus. We left at 9:00 P.M. and arrived at 6:00 the next morning. Turns out that it was a good night’s sleep.

We boarded at 7:00 P.M. and then went back into Souda to a place a block up from the ferry dock and got a couple of gyros and some large Mythos Greek beers.



Back on board we ate up on the deck about three stories above the dock and watched the crowd below wave as we departed.



Then the lights of Crete slowly faded into the dark sea and we finally went below to our room.










I do recall an occasional feeling of rocking from time to time but never really woke up. We had set our alarms to go off about 5:30 A.M. and were up in time to watch our landing in Piraeus.
