Review of Hellenic Seaways

Bought 2 tickets for me and my girlfriend, economy...

Bought 2 tickets for me and my girlfriend, economy class, we get to the port and we find out that the ferry from Mykonos to Athens is 1.5 hours late. Once finally boarded, we get told by the staff to keep walking down the end and turn left and sit there. Surprise surprise there are no seats but just a floor where you can sleep if you want to! This is for a 4.5 hours trip. I asked explanations to 2 different staff members and they both just said that this is the economy. Economy means to them sleep on the floor. A dog gets a better treatment I guess. We found some chairs to sit in the restaurant area and we were told that we can t sit there unless you buy food, in a rude way again.
When we bought the tickets there was no mention at all about this, otherwise we wouldn t have bought them in first place.

I highly recommend to avoid this ferry company. The staff at the port didn t even know on which deck the ferry was coming. Just ridiculous! Stay away from Hellenic seaways..
