Visitors Book Ferry  Gulf of Corinth
News
Back to year 2000 index.

We crossed the Gulf of Corinth at Little Dardanellus from Rio to Antrio.

There were many ferries running this crossing.  Several were embarking and disembarking at the same time.  It was chaos.  The ferries were not Roll On Roll Off, ferries.  You had to leave the same way as you got on.  Most cars and coaches reversed onto the ferry.  Articulated lorries drove on and reversed off.  This resulted in chaos on land as cars were swinging around in all directions.  All the passengers in the car had to leave the car before it was loaded.  They were loaded so tight together that it was impossible to leave the car once it was parked.

People were getting on at the same time as the cars were reversing on.  I just wondered what the fatality rate was.

The journey just took 20 minutes to complete.  This last picture shows us about to land.  On the right and left are two other ferries loading.
