Nel Lines is a public-owned passenger shipping company based at Mitilini, [[Lesbos]].Nel Lines was founded in 1970 with the objective of linking Lesvos, [[Chios]] and [[Limnos]] with the Greek mainland.Nel stands for Naftiliaki Eteria Lesvou (Shipping Company of Lesvos).Services started in 1973, with F/B [[Sappho]].The ship originally operated the route Pireas-Chios-Mitilini thrice weekly.Next year the route Mitilini-Limnos-[[Thessaloniki]] was inaugurated. A few years later a second ship was added, [[Homerus]].Homerus inaugurated the Mitilini-Limnos-[[Kavala]] route in 1978.During the 1980s,Nel purchased more ships.These were:[[Alkeos]],which has operated the Pireas-Mitilini direct route, the [[Lavrio]]-[[Agios Efstratios]]-Limnos-Kavala route, the Mitilini-Limnos-[[Alexandroupoli]] route,among others.The [[Arion]],which served the Pireas-Cyprus-Israel route and was torpedoed in [[Haifa]].The [[Odysseas Elitis]] became the first and last ship owned by Nel to link Greece with Italy.The [[Agios Rafael]] was a primarily vehicle-carrying ship.Due to its low ceilings and steep staircases through the years it gained a dreadful reputation, along with the Alkeos.
