[Nicholas Peppas]

Atalante was a small passenger ship we encountered in the Chalkidiki and Pieria routes, from Thessaloniki to Kavala

--- First Thessaloniki, Paralia Katerinis and Paralia Litohorou!
--- Then, evening excursions all the way to Epanomi!

I have no technical information, but I am told by an old Thessalonikian that these ships were no more than 200 tons.
The ship belonged to the important sounding Aktoploia Halkidikis!.
Here is an ad from July 31, 1925

I have now verified the pre-war schedules of Atmoploia Chalkidikis from a very old (1938?) document of unknown source that I found in my records.

These are definitely post-1922 schedules as "new" names are used for most of the small ports

--- Thessaloniki, Nea Mihaniona, Nea Moudania, Skala Fourkas (port of Kassandra, Sarti, Dafne (of Agion Oros), Limenaria Thassou, Kavala
--- Thessaloniki, Paralia Katerinis, Skala Litohorou
--- Thessaloniki, Paralia Katerinis, Nea Mihaniona, Epanomi
--- Thesasloniki, Nea Moudania, Sarti, Dafni
