In 2010 and 2011 in the press the theme was discussed about the imminent opening of a direct ferry line between Odessa and Athens . The initiator of her opening was Mike Gerasimos Petropulos representing Triad Real Estate . Alas, but all talk about the imminent arrival of ferries from Odessa to the port of Piraeus (city education of Greater Athens) remains exclusively conversations . So far there are no such ferries, from Odessa to Athens and back have to get in other ways . K For example, they offer this route: by sea to Istanbul and from there by bus to Thessaloniki and then to the capital of Greece .
