Ferry from Agistri (Skala) to Athens (Piraeus)

Agistri is one of the smallest inhabited islands in the Saronic Gulf, and this short hop to Piraeus is how most visitors get on and off it. There is no airport and barely any need for a car once you are there, so the ferry link is the island's main lifeline as well as its main tourist gateway. Because the crossing stays inside the Saronic Gulf rather than pushing out into open water, it is a comparatively calm ride by Greek ferry standards, though a stiff meltemi in high summer can still put a chop on the surface.

Service is dense enough in season that you rarely need to plan much further ahead than the day before, though it does thin out once the shoulder months arrive. Check the schedule box above for the current month-by-month picture rather than assuming any fixed pattern year-round.

Hiring a car

Can you rent a car in Piraeus?

Yes, several agencies meet passengers directly at the ferry gates (E1 to E12), so there is no need to arrange transport into central Athens first. It suits travellers continuing on to the mainland rather than islanders, since central Athens is only 20 minutes away and has good metro and bus links. Compare local suppliers at Discover Cars.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tips for the Agistri to Piraeus ferry

• On a short hop to a small island, confirm there are facilities (cafes, water, shade) before you go if you plan to spend a full day there.
• Children tend to find ferry journeys exciting rather than tedious; give them a small bag of activities or let them explore the accessible deck areas safely.
• Ferries from Piraeus depart from the main port of Athens, giving easy access to the Acropolis, the world-class Acropolis Museum, and the ancient Agora. The historic Plaka neighbourhood at the foot of the Acropolis hill, with its neoclassical lanes, Roman ruins, and traditional tavernas, is the most atmospheric place to spend time before or after your crossing.
