Roberto, thank you for your comment, you are absolutely right. My apologies to all visitors of this posting for supplying wrong information.
Best regards, Anton

Excuse me, but the ferry leavings port is not the Aretousa... but she is one of the two sisters Pasiphae (became Pasiphae Palace and today Jean Nicoli of SNCM) and Ikarus (today Ikarus Palace)

Regards.

Roberto.
