In the 1920s, travel to the islands of the Saronic gulf and to Argolis became a pleasant excursion of many people from Athens and Piraeus.
Aris of Papaleonardopoulos was one of the ships running the Argosaronic route in those days. Here is an ad from September 25, 1919.

Aris' history is rather well known. Built in 1904 at Lloyd Austriaco in Trieste, she had a length of 52.4 m and width of 7 m. Her tonnage was 336 tons and her service speed 13.1 knots. She was built for Papaleonardopoulos, something quite unusual in those days.
In 1923, she was bought by Embiricos and named Mikonos. Further fate is presented by Miramar (below).
