Large islands are connected with the above ports with regular services throughout the year. Nevertheless, there is a reduction and elimination of routes to and from some islands during the winter months. These islands are called non profit line islands and are usually small islands with few inhabitants and few or only one settlements. The name of the line is due to the fact that any connection with this island, either via ferry or airplane is subsidized by the state. The non profit line islands are many, such as Irakleia, Anafi, Kastelorizo and Astypalaia.
