For the ferry lover I have created yet another small page about some specific ferries. This time the Lixoúri ferries. Unfortunately I have little information about these boats yet. Just a picture of the ferry I used, the c/f VASOS K. Other ferries were c/f AGIOS GERASIMOS and c/f AINOS.

Some new pictures again now, from the Greek island of Kefalonia, the biggest of the Ionian islands. See http://www.islandwalking.com/piwigo/index.php?/category/81.

Here is a small sequence of the Flying Cat 4. I have never used that one myself, but I have used the similar Flying Cat 3.

Greek ferryspotting is in my mind an underrated sport. If you are like me this is something you can enjoy even at home. Take your favorite webcam overlooking a Greek port (more interesting to select a busy one…), let us say Parikia (Paros), and also fire up Live Ships Map – AIS – Vessel Traffic and Positions (select Mediterranean/Aegean South, and deselect uninteresting boats to concentrate on the ferries) from MarineTraffic.com and you are all set. Happy hunting!
