MF Prevelis (Greek: Πρέβελης) is a Ro-Pax ferry, built in 1980 by Imabari Shipbuilding in Japan as Ferry Orange No 2 for Shikoku Kaihatsu Ferry (ja).[1] On 27 December 1980 she was put into service on the Toyo(ja) - Osaka route. In 1994, she was bought by Rethymniaki Naftiliaki SA and was named Preveli after Preveli Monastery. Following a refit in Perama, she started to operate on the Piraeus - Rethymno route. After the 1999 acquisition of Rethymniaki by ANEK Lines, Prevelis operates in the colors of ANEK.[2]

Route

As of early 2023, MF Prevelis connects Piraeus with Cyclades, Crete and Dodecanese, calling at the ports of Milos, Santorini, Anafi, Heraklion, Sitia, Kasos, Karpathos, Halki and Rhodes.
