Fourni to Piraeus Route Map
Fourni to Piraeus is the long westbound run to Athens, taking close to seven hours on Blue Star Ferries' Blue Star Myconos or Blue Star Patmos. The ships call at Cycladic ports on the way, so the crossing is broken up rather than being one continuous open-water leg. Fares start around €47, with cabins and air-seats on the overnight sailings.
Piraeus is the main port of Athens and the primary gateway to the Aegean islands. Piraeus station, a short walk from most berths, links straight into central Athens by metro and suburban rail. The port is spread across numbered gates from E1 to E12, so check which gate your ship uses rather than heading for the first entrance you find.
Sailings run around three times a week in the main season. The current timetable and fares are shown in the table below. If dates do not line up, connecting via Ikaria or Samos opens up more frequent Piraeus departures.

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.

Tips for the Fourni to Piraeus ferry
- The sea temperature in the Aegean ranges from around 15°C in winter to 27–28°C in late summer; falling overboard in winter is a serious emergency.
- Many island businesses (restaurants, hotels, excursion boats) close entirely from October to April; factor this in before planning an off-season island stay.
- 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.
