Kimolos to Piraeus Route Map
Kimolos to Piraeus is covered by both Seajets and Fast Ferries, and the two are quite different trips. Seajets' Champion Jet 1 is a high-speed catamaran that makes the run in around three and a half hours, while Fast Ferries' conventional Dionisios Solomos takes closer to six, calling at more islands on the way. The conventional ship has deck space and carries vehicles; the fast craft is quicker but seats you inside throughout.
Piraeus is the main port of Athens, a few kilometres southwest of the centre and one of the busiest passenger ports in Europe. Its gates run from E1 to E12 across a large area, so knowing your arrival gate saves time and walking. The metro and suburban rail terminus is right by the harbour, with direct services into central Athens.
Departures run several times a week through the season, thinning out in winter. Current dates, journey times and fares are shown in the table below, with tickets usually starting around €43.50. If nothing suits, the short hop to Milos gives you a much denser choice of Piraeus sailings.

Official maximum fares on subsidised sailings
These are ceilings set by ministerial decision for public-service (PSO) sailings, quoted net of VAT and port dues. They are the most an operator may charge on a subsidised departure, not a fare on sale, and they do not apply to commercial sailings on the same route.
| Ticket type | Category | Maximum, net | Valid to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Passenger, conventional ferry | passenger | €15.66 | 30 April 2027 |
| Passenger, conventional ferry (vessel <10y) | passenger | €18.80 | 30 April 2027 |

| Car up to 4.25m | vehicle | €45.99 | 30 April 2027 |
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.
Do you need a car on Kimolos?
Not really. Kimolos is tiny, only about 900 people live there, and the port at Psathi is just 1km from the main village, Chorio. Most visitors walk or hire a scooter or quad locally for the short hops to beaches like Aliki (3km) or Prassa (6.5km). A car is only worth arranging if you want to bring one over from Milos on the vehicle ferry; compare options at Discover Cars.

Tips for the Kimolos to Piraeus ferry
- Greek coffee on ferries is reliably good – a frappe or freddo espresso on the outside deck is one of the pleasures of Aegean travel.
- Smoking is not permitted inside ferry terminals or on board vessels in enclosed areas; designated smoking areas are usually at the stern on open deck.
- 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.
