G.A. FERRIES Passenger Line company has been established by Mr G.
Agoudimos, in 1988, after the purchase of the ferries DALIANA and
MILENA. Our vigorous entrance to the passenger line sector was the
natural outcome of many years of successful enterprising in seafaring
shipping, owning a large fleet. Our passenger ship fleet was
subsequently bolstered up with the purchase of the ferries RODANTHI
(1990), MARINA (1994), ROMILDA (1994), DIMITROULA (1997), and finally
with the high speed JETFERRY 1, in 2000.
G.A. FERRIES has promptly acknowledged the changes in the passenger
line sector, as well as the need for increasingly qualitative services,
and has accordingly setup and started implementing its new investment
plan. Our first step in this direction was the purchase of the ferry
ANTHI MARINA in August, 2003, which was set on route upon the Piraeus -
Mykonos - Kos - Rhodes line, in the December of the same year. This
purchase was made on account of both the passengers increasing
requirements, and the specific mooring conditions of the Aegean
islands.
Today, the passenger fleet of the company comprises 7 ferries and 1
hi-speed. All of our ships boast fine decoration, high quality of
services, well trained crews, and of course increased reliability and
high standards of safety.
The ships of GA FERRIES connect daily Piraeus with Ikaria, Samos,
Syros, Paros, Naxos, Santorini and the Dodecanese. They also make daily
trips between Aghios Konstantinos and the Sporades islands. Besides
popular islands, our company always includes in its itineraries islands
of the "barren" line (that is islands that are not a common
destination, due to their geographical position or their low population
density), given that one of our basic principles is to treat all
islanders transportation needs with respect, no matter how remote they
may be.
Considering the benefits of vertical structure to modern companies, GA
FERRIES has proceeded to the creation of a travel agency, GA TRAVEL.
Utilizing their experience in coastal navigation with GA FERRIES, the
specialized staff of GA TRAVEL are able to provide customised solutions
for vacations at various destinations in Greece and abroad. This
venture, along with our continual investments in new, hi-tech ships,
will give a boost to GA FERRIES business activities and establish it
among the leaders of the Greek tourism sector.
Mr. G. Agoudimos group of companies occupies more than 600 employees in
the passenger line sector, 80 in seafaring shipping and 100 employees
at the group's headquarters, seated at a proprietary building at
Piraeus (2 Kantharou st. & Akti Miaouli).
