Kastellorizo to Piraeus Route Map
Megisti to Piraeus is the longest domestic ferry journey in Greece, running around 23 hours on Blue Star Ferries' Blue Star Patmos. The ship leaves Greece's easternmost island and calls its way west through the Dodecanese before the long final crossing to Attica. A cabin is worth booking on a sailing of this length, and the ferry has lounges, a bar and open decks for the daylight hours.
Piraeus is the port of Athens, a few kilometres south-west of the centre and one of the busiest passenger ports in Europe. It is a sprawling place with numbered gates from E1 to E12, so knowing which gate your ferry uses matters both on arrival and departure. The metro terminus at Piraeus station links directly to central Athens, and the Mikrolimano marina and the archaeological museum are within reach of the waterfront.
The route operates a couple of times a week, following the ship's rotation rather than a daily pattern, so departure days drive the planning. Current sailings and fares are listed in the timetable below, with fares starting around €93. Many travellers instead fly Kastellorizo to Rhodes and pick up a shorter ferry or flight from there.

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.

Tips for the Kastellorizo to Piraeus ferry
- In high summer, the ferry's snack bar and cafeteria can sell out of cold drinks by mid-crossing on busy routes; buy your drinks early after boarding.
- Booking a summer return to Athens a week or two before departure gives you flexibility while still securing a ticket before the final-week rush.
- Over-the-counter seasickness tablets containing dimenhydrinate are widely available at Greek pharmacies and are effective for most people.
- 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.
