Ferry from Athens (Piraeus) to Evdilos (Ikaria)

The Piraeus to Evdilos run is worked by Blue Star Ferries with the Blue Star Myconos, taking roughly seven hours. Sailings usually route via the Cyclades before crossing to Ikaria, and the ship carries cars as well as foot passengers. Cabins and reclining seats are both available, which helps on the overnight departures.

Evdilos is Ikaria's second port, on the north coast, and the harbour sits beneath a hillside of white and pastel houses that gives you a classic Aegean view as you come in. It is a laid-back place, in keeping with the island's reputation for an unhurried way of life. From here you have good access to northern Ikaria's villages, beaches and hiking, and to Nas and Armenistis further west.

Departures run several times a week in season, with fares starting around €59.50. Check the table below for the current timetable and prices. If the Evdilos sailing does not fit, Agios Kirykos on the south coast is served by other departures, roughly an hour apart by road.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tips for the Piraeus to Evdilos ferry

• Piraeus port is large, with departure gates E1 to E12 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.
• Noise from engines and bow waves makes conversation difficult on the outdoor deck when the vessel is at full speed; find a sheltered indoor spot for long conversations.
