Until the arrival of the new boats on the lake, the boats were open wooden boats, with mattresses for the passengers, who were sitting cross-legged and with a space in the middle to set, if they wished, a table. These boats had names like Paralos, Zefyros, Amfitriti and were quite reminiscent of sea boats.
