Ferry from Aegiali (Amorgos) to Athens (Piraeus)

Aegiali to Piraeus is an overnight-length haul of around nine hours, operated by Blue Star Ferries on the Blue Star Naxos. The ship works west from Amorgos through the Small Cyclades and Naxos and Paros before crossing to the mainland, so a good deal of the time is spent calling at islands. Conventional ferries mean cabins, seating lounges and deck space, which makes a crossing of this length far more comfortable.

Piraeus is the main port of Athens and one of the busiest passenger harbours in Europe, a few kilometres southwest of the city centre. It is spread over numbered gates from E1 to E12, so check which gate you arrive at before arranging onward transport. The metro and rail terminus at Piraeus station runs directly into central Athens, with a change to reach the airport.

The service runs a few times a week rather than daily, so this needs building into the plan. Current departures and fares are shown in the timetable below. If the timing does not work, going via Naxos and picking up a fast boat from there is usually the quicker alternative.

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 Aegiali to Piraeus ferry

• Travel insurance covering ferry cancellations due to weather is worth considering if your trip depends on reaching a specific island on a specific date.
• If you arrive in port before your accommodation check-in time, most hotels will store your luggage and let you use the pool or common areas – ask when you book.
• If you are departing from a remote island port rather than the main town, confirm the location in advance – some islands have more than one port.
• A foam sleeping mat or a folded jacket beneath you makes deck sleeping much more comfortable – the steel deck is hard and conducts cold.
• 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.
