Antikythera to Piraeus Route Map
The full run from Antikythera to Piraeus is one of the longer domestic crossings in Greek waters, at roughly eight and a half hours on the Seajets vessel Aqua Jewel. The ferry works its way north around the Peloponnese with intermediate calls, so the sailing is more of a coastal passage than a direct hop. Bring something to read and a jumper for the deck.
Piraeus is the main port of Athens, a few kilometres southwest of the centre, and one of the busiest passenger harbours in Europe. Arrivals from the south normally berth on the quieter side of the port, though the gates are numbered E1 to E12 and it is worth checking which one you are using before you disembark. The metro terminus at Piraeus station connects straight into central Athens.
The link runs about once a week, so it is not a route to leave to chance. Departures, journey times and fares as currently filed are shown in the table below. From Piraeus you can pick up onward ferries to almost anywhere in the Aegean, or take the metro to the airport line for a same day flight.

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.
