Built in Greece, she started her career connecting Eastern Cyclades for Agapitos. In 1993, after the division of
Agapitos Brothers company, she was taken over by Agapitos Express as “Express Efvoikos”, even if she was rapidly resold to Ventouris Lines for Saronikos
services. In 1996 Ventouris Lines went in bankruptcy
and the ship was repurchased by Agapitos Express Ferries, which renames the
vessel “Express Danae” and continues the Ventouris services. At the end of 1999 the ship was
purchased by M.F.D. which transfers her to the subsidiary Saronikos
Ferries mantaining the present name.
