Ferry from Athens (Lavrio) to Agios Efstratios

Seajets runs the Aquablue from Lavrio out to Agios Efstratios in the north Aegean, a passage of roughly seven and a half hours on the quicker sailings and closer to eleven and a half when the ship makes more calls. The variation depends entirely on the routeing, so check the times below rather than assuming. Either way it is a long day at sea to one of the more remote corners of the Aegean.

Agios Efstratios, often shortened to Ai Stratis, is a small island south of Lemnos and one of the least visited inhabited islands in Greece. There is a single settlement, also called Agios Efstratios, rebuilt after the earthquake of 1968, and very little in the way of tourist infrastructure. People come for empty beaches, quiet and the feeling of being genuinely off the main island-hopping routes.

Ferries call a few times a week rather than daily, and the gaps between them can be wide, so leave slack in your plans. Current departures, durations and fares are shown below. Most connections to and from the island run via Lemnos, so Myrina is the natural place to break the journey if the direct sailing does not fit.

Hiring a car

Can you rent a car at Lavrio port?

Rental desks at Lavrio itself are scarce; the port is a working harbour about 60km southeast of Athens and roughly 40km from Athens airport, a 30-40 minute drive. Most people picking up a car for a Cycladic ferry from here collect it at the airport or in Athens beforehand, or arrange supplier delivery to the port; compare options at Discover Cars.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tips for the Lavrio to Agios Efstratios ferry

• Children's fares typically apply up to a certain age; above that they are charged the adult rate – enter accurate dates of birth when booking.
• Padlocking your main bag adds a layer of deterrence against opportunistic interference even though it is not a guarantee of security.
• If you need to change your ticket, it is usually cheaper to do so online than at the port ticket office, where a handling fee may apply.
• Wheeled suitcases are harder to manage on steep gangways and across uneven quaysides than backpacks; a soft-sided bag with carry handles is a practical compromise.
• Photography from the deck is excellent – the golden hour light on island whitewashed buildings as you arrive is hard to match.
