Ferry from Agios Efstratios to Athens (Lavrio)

Agios Efstratios to Lavrio is a long Seajets run on the Aquablue, anywhere from about seven to eleven and a half hours depending on how many islands the sailing calls at. It is the island's direct link to the Athens area, and the wide variation in timings reflects the routing rather than the ship. Fares start around €23.70.

Lavrio sits on the southeast coast of Attica, near Sounio, and serves as the Athens area's third ferry port after Piraeus and Rafina. It is a former mining town with its own dedicated harbour, and arriving here avoids the sprawl of Piraeus altogether. The Temple of Poseidon at Sounio is a short drive down the coast.

Sailings run two or three times a week in season, and the current timetable and fares are shown below. Bus connections from Lavrio into central Athens and to the airport exist but are not frequent, so check them alongside your ferry time. Agios Efstratios has thin connections generally, so book the outbound and return together.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tips for the Agios Efstratios to Lavrio ferry

• Prices on Greek ferry routes are generally fixed by the operator – unlike airlines, there is no dynamic pricing that rewards booking at odd hours.
• Sleeping on the open deck in a sleeping bag is a classic Greek ferry experience – genuinely enjoyable in summer on a calm night.
• If you are travelling with a pram or pushchair, store it in the designated vehicle area or a corridor space – it will not fit in the overhead racks.
• The sirocco (southerly warm wind from North Africa) brings haze and uncomfortable heat to Greek ports in late spring and early summer; it rarely lasts more than a day or two.
• Most ferries have a small kiosk selling souvenirs, snacks, and basic travel items; useful if you have forgotten sunscreen or earplugs.
