We’re sorry, but Zante Ferries is no longer available in our system, as the company was acquired by Fast Ferries on December 6, 2024. You can explore alternative ferry options in your search results.
Founded in 1991, Zante Ferries operated routes connecting Piraeus to destinations like Kythnos, Serifos, Sifnos, Milos, Santorini, as well as Lemnos, Samothrace, and Alexandroupoli. The company’s fleet included Dionysios Solomos, which served the Western Cyclades from Piraeus (Gate E9), and Adamantios Korais, which connected Samothrace and Lemnos from Alexandroupolis. Based in Piraeus, Zante Ferries provided reliable service across its network until merging with Fast Ferries.

Zante Ferries Fleet
Zante Ferries operated two ferries, Dionysios Solomos to the Western Cyclades from Piraeus and Adamantios Korais between Samothrace and Lemnos from Alexandroupolis. Since Fast Ferries acquired Zante Ferries in December 2024, these routes are now operated by Fast Ferries.
About Zante Ferries
Since its founding on January 25, 1991, Zante Ferries—also known as ANMEZ—provided ferry connections between the Greek mainland, the Western Cyclades, Samothrace, and Lemnos. Operating from Piraeus and Alexandroupolis, the company became known for its reliable year-round service. Its fleet, including Dionysios Solomos and Adamantios Korais, offered comfortable travel with spacious lounges and essential onboard amenities.
In December 2024, Zante Ferries ceased operations following the acquisition of its last two vessels by Fast Ferries. While the company no longer operates, its former routes continue to be served under Fast Ferries. Travelers can still explore these destinations with alternative ferry operators.
Passengers without a Vehicle
Zante Ferries is no longer operating, it became part of Fast Ferries in December 2024. Still, many travelers remember the smooth and pleasant journeys the company once offered. If you were travelling without a vehicle, boarding as a foot passenger was easy and convenient. Spacious lounges and comfortable seats made it easy to relax and enjoy the sea views while sailing between the Cyclades and the northern Aegean.
Transfer of an unaccompanied vehicle with Zante Ferries
Zante Ferries ceased operations in December 2024 after being acquired by Fast Ferries. While the company is no longer active, it once offered practical services for travelers needing to transport vehicles without accompanying them. However, it used to offer a practical solution for unaccompanied vehicle transport. If you had a vehicle to move but didn’t plan to travel with it, Zante Ferries provided a safe and reliable way to get your car or motorbike to its destination.
