After the tragedy of the Samina Express and the loss of many peoples from our islands ...and after the struggles of the our peoples to bring a safe new boat to our islands... ...authorities today after 11 yrs have replaced the Nisos Mykonos ferry with ANEK lines 39yr old Ierapetra ferry from ANEK lines. On it's first trip to our islands the ferry had machanical damage and took over 20.00hours to reach Samos.
Especially not on islands like Lesbos, Chios and Samos, that are located close to the coast of Asia minor and have historically always been included and integrated in the economical region along the coast of Asia Minor.

Why there is no service of planes and big ferries between Samos and let's say Kusadasi or Izmir on the turkish coast? This is the main problem of the region!
The coast of Asia Minor is so close, Athens (and Thessaloniki) so far away! Now you complain about old boats. That is not the problem. The problem is, that everything is Athens centered. Nobody really needs that!
