Line

Full sister of Eptanisos, which was her fleet mate under her first 20 years of service as “Villandry” between France and England, was sold to Greece in the same time, 1984, acquired by Agapitos. Soon resold to Strintzis, which deployed her on Rafina services (Andros, Tinos, Mykonos, Syros, Paros, Naxos, Amorgos, Ios, Santorini) and, some years after, in Ionian Sea between Killini and Poros, sometimes linking also Argostoli and Lixouri. In 1997 she left Greece for Alang, sold for scrap, substituted by the “Eptanisos” on the Killini line.
