◉ More info: A small, but very important ferry running up and down the Dodecanese the whole year. The boat that saves the day when the hydrofoils cannot run. She seems reliable, and her itinerary is very predictable, running with very small changes from one year to the next. But slow and sensitive to winds and waves, delays must be expected. Considering her diminutive size, she is OK in most respects, but her toilets are crampy, to say the least. But my good mood is soon restored by this fun sign over the sink: "If you have not previously digested it, please don't put it down the pan." I have just seen one better (from hotel Sydney in Rodos town): "Do not put toilet paper and other heavy objects (!!!??? - my comment) in the toilet." As this is a very small car ferry, she may roll a lot in heavy winds. Not for the weakest of stomaches, I guess. A timetable that seems to be well updated (but in Swedish only), can be found here. An English one (also in Greek) from LipsiWeb can be found here. Obs: You can see from these timetables that she has no departures to/from Rhodes anymore.
