These are the sailings we recorded on this route from October 2025 to September 2026. They show what ran then, not a forecast: timetables change from year to year.
Marmari to Rafina takes about an hour on the Evia Star, run by Olympian Ferries across the strait between southern Evia and the Attica coast. It is a short, practical crossing used by locals and holidaymakers alike, and the ferry takes cars.
Rafina is Attica's second port, a working harbour town about 30km from central Athens and close to the airport. The harbour sits right in the town centre, so it is a short walk from the ramp to the cafes and tavernas along the front. Buses run to Athens and to the airport.
The route runs several times a day in season, with a thinner service in winter; the current timetable and fares are below. Rafina is also the departure point for Andros, Tinos and Mykonos, which makes it a useful pivot for anyone continuing into the Cyclades.

Tips for the Marmari to Rafina ferry
- A Force 6 wind produces wave heights of 2–3 metres; even passengers who do not normally feel seasick may be affected in these conditions.
- Some routes in the Dodecanese chain only operate in full summer mode from June; May sailings may be less frequent than the website implies.
- The return trip on a day-trip short hop is usually the most crowded – the late afternoon ferry from a popular beach island fills fast in summer.
- The meltemi blows from the north-north-west; routes that run east–west are more exposed than those running north–south along a chain of islands.
- Ferries from Rafina, Athens's eastern port, connect to the Cyclades via a route that is closer to Athens International Airport than Piraeus. The city of Athens itself is easily reached, with the Acropolis, the Plaka district, and the National Archaeological Museum among the essential sights before or after your journey.
