The first ferry link between Cyprus and Greece – specifically, from Limassol to Piraeus – is to be up and running on June 19, it was announced on Friday, with the trip lasting about 30 hours.

The details were announced by the deputy shipping ministry as it was reported that the service will last until September 16, with four trips scheduled for June, eight in July, seven in August and three in September.

The tender was won by Scandro Holding Ltd with an offer of €15,594,000, with the ship servicing the ferry link having a capacity for 400 passengers.

There will be 38 first class cabins, 68 second-class cabins, 110 seats and 100 vehicle spots.

More details will be announced shortly.

Wonder what the prices will be ...not a short journey ...considering flights are 1.15 minutes

But great for traveling with a car in tow

Any information about meals on board? I gather there is a cafeteria?
Where in Piraeus will the ferry dock?
Photos of cabins?

Can't help with your first and third questions, but I assume it will dock at the ferry terminal in Piraeus, which is the bit closer to the train station. I can't see that it can use the cruise terminal as there are no facilities at that end for unloading cars.

Reasonably priced meals will be available and it’s possible there may even be some form of entertainment. Bookings are going fast…
