The 40 year old tradition of Anek Lines sailing the seas of our country, has established us as the leader in our field. From the time of our first vessel setting sail up till now, Anek Lines has been crossing both the Aegean and Adriatic sea with unsurpassed comfort and consistency.
Anek Lines was originally created with the help of shareholders who were inhabitants of Crete. They endevoured for a means of transportation which was their own and connected them with the rest of Greece. This is what differentiates ANEK from the rest of the shipping companies: its multi shareholder peculiarity. Cretan people looked for their own vessels to sail into their own sea. In the beginning it looked as just another great vision but everybody contributed to the cause.
Other companies soon followed our example. We restored the shipping tradition that goes back to the Minoan times. The company won the confidence of its people and its passengers, and rewarded its employees for all their sacrifices.
The development of Anek Lines has continued at an impressive rate. Our large contemporary fleet and the company's unique character have established us as a model for Europe. Anek Lines also complies with all the rules and legislation of the European Community.
