Ferry from Athens (Lavrio) to Myrina (Lemnos)

The Aquablue, operated by Seajets, links Lavrio with Myrina on Lemnos in around nine hours at best and closer to thirteen on the sailings that take in more ports. It is a conventional ferry on a long north Aegean run, so the time on board is substantial and the routeing varies between departures. Worth checking the specific sailing before booking, as the difference is several hours.

Myrina is the capital and main port of Lemnos, an attractive working town rather than a resort. A large Byzantine and Genoese castle sits on a rocky headland dividing the two sandy town beaches, and the streets below mix Ottoman and neoclassical buildings. Lemnos is a big, largely agricultural island known for its wine and ouzo, with quiet beaches and, at Moudros Bay, a strong association with the Gallipoli campaign.

Sailings run a few times a week, with the fullest schedule in summer. The current timetable and fares are shown in the table below. Lemnos also has an airport and links onward to Agios Efstratios and the rest of the north Aegean, so it fits comfortably into a longer route rather than being a there-and-back trip.

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 Myrina ferry

• On overnight ferries, the restaurant serves a proper hot dinner; for long crossings this is worth the price rather than relying on packaged snacks.
• Earplugs are essential for overnight ferry crossings – engines, announcements, and other passengers ensure the ambient noise level never fully drops.
• The ship's tannoy system uses a chime before announcements; listen for the three-tone signal that precedes important information about arrivals or delays.
• The rear vehicle ramp opens while the vessel is still manoeuvring; do not go down to the vehicle deck until the ferry is fully docked and the ramp is secure.
