Ferrys for the Greek Islands

Hello, everyone. Does anyone have a favorite or recommendation for which Ferry to use between the Greek Islands (Athens-Mykinos, Naxos, Santorini, etc.)?
Thanks much.

Are you asking about destinations, or are you interested in the characteristics of the ships themselves?

www.Ferries.gr. Has the schedules fares and names of the ferry companies. High-speed Catamarans—such as SeaJet—also are listed

Hello Acraven. I was referring to the characteristics (comfort, different classes, etc)
Thanks for your help.

The two main ferry companies for the destinations you mention are Seajets (highspeed catamarans) and Blue Star Ferries (conventional ferries)

About Seajets:

About Blue Star Ferries:

Seajets catamarans are more expensive but faster, They do not have outdoor decks to settle in, the smaller ones can be very uncomfortable in bad seas.

Blue Star ferries are like cruise ships with several comfort classes as well as cabins. They are slower than Seajets catamarans but cheaper and more comfortable

Two examples among hundreds available on Youtube:

Blue Star Business Class from Santorini to Naxos was amazing. You choose to sit at tables and opt for food and wine table service.
