Piraeus to Agios Kirykos Route Map
Blue Star Ferries connect Piraeus with Agios Kirykos on Ikaria using the Blue Star Myconos and the Blue Star Patmos, taking somewhere between six and seven hours. Sailings typically work through Mykonos or the Cyclades before turning east, and many run overnight. These are full-sized ferries taking cars, with cabins available on the longer night crossings.
Agios Kirykos is the capital and main port of Ikaria, on the south coast. It is a workaday harbour town rather than a polished resort, and that suits the island's character. Ikaria has a reputation as a Blue Zone for longevity, and the thermal springs near the town, with their spa facilities, are part of that tradition. The pace is famously unhurried.
Sailings run several times a week, more often in high summer, with fares starting around fifty-four euros. The current timetable and prices are shown in the table below. Note that Ikaria has a second port at Evdilos on the north coast, served by different sailings, so check which one your ticket lands at.

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.

Tips for the Piraeus to Agios Kirykos ferry
- Piraeus port is large, with departure gates E1 to E10 spread along the waterfront – allow extra time to find yours, as it can be a 15–20 minute walk from the metro station, and check the gate number printed on your ticket.
- Ferries to the Saronic islands – Aegina, Hydra and the nearby islands – depart from Gate E8, while Cyclades sailings (Mykonos, Santorini, Paros, Naxos) leave from gates in the E6–E10 range, so double-check your specific gate on arrival.
- Take Metro Line 1 or Line 3 to Piraeus station, then use the free shuttle bus that circulates around the port roughly every 10–15 minutes, linking the metro to all gates – useful if your ferry departs from a distant terminal such as E2 or E3.
- There is no parking inside the port itself, so if you are driving, use one of the private car parks nearby rather than looking for a space at the gate; ticket booths at each gate can print e-tickets if you have not already.
- On overnight ferries, the restaurant serves a proper hot dinner; for long crossings this is worth the price rather than relying on packaged snacks.
