H ακτοπλοϊα πριν 100 χρόνια (1908) [International Lines in Greece 100 Years Ago]
INTERNATIONAL PASSENGER LINES SERVING GREECE 100 YEARS AGO
Rather than wait for a longer article, I will upload several other documents that present the state of international passenger lines passing through Greece in 1908. Once more, this is information I got from the Handbuch fuer Reisende von Karl Baedeker or Handbook for Travelers by Karl Baedeker, in its fifth edition in 1908, published by the Baedeker Publishing House in Leipzig, Germany.
First, here is a map depicting all domestic and international lines in Greece in 1908. Continuous lines indicate an international passenger line, while dashed lines indicate a Greek line. Small red numbers indicate:
1= German; 2= Austrian; 3=Italian; 4= Russian; 5= French; 6= Romanian; 7= Egyptian

Once more, this is information I got from the Handbuch fuer Reisende von Karl Baedeker or Handbook for Travelers by Karl Baedeker, in its fifth edition in 1908, published by the Baedeker Publishing House in Leipzig, Germany.
The first insert gives a general description of passenger liners (especialy Greek) on page xviii. Then, in the next page it discusses the Norddeutscher Lloyd Bremen Linie, concentrating on the Marseilles-Genova-Naples-Piraeus-Smyrna-Constantinople run. It indicates that further freight steamships of the Deutsche Levante Linie do the Hamburg-Malta-Piraeus-Smyrna-Constantinople run...
The second company described is Lloyd Austriaco, what would become Cosulich later... Runs discussed are Trieste-Brindisi-Corfu-Patras-Piraeus-Constantinople.

The second insert features additional lines of Lloyd Austriaco including the run Trieste-Aghioi Saranta-Chania-Rethymnon-Herakleion-Piraeus-Volos-Thessaloniki-Constantinople
Another featured Line is the Navigazione Generale Italiana of Rome with service from Catania to Chania-Piraeus-Thessaloniki-Smyrna and Constantinople. Additional routes are virtually the same as Lloyd Austriaco's
The Russian Lines of Odessa were doing the run Odessa-Constantinople-Piraeus-Alexandria or Chania
The French Messageries Maritimes were running routes with unusual stops, one going from Marseilles to Patras and then Chania or Kalamata (every second week), Syros, Thessaloniki, and Constantinople. Another route was from Marseilles to Piraeus-Smyrna-Constantinople-Samsous-Trabezous-Batum
Finally the Egyptian Khedivial Mail Lines were running the route Alexandria-Piraeus-Smyrna-Constantinople
Enjoy!
