Piraeus to Sigri Route Map
This is one of the longer Aegean crossings on the books, running from Piraeus right across to the far western tip of Lesvos. Blue Star Ferries handle it with the Blue Star Patmos, taking close to ten hours. It is an overnight-length sailing on a full-size ship, so cabins and reclining seats are worth considering rather than an afterthought.
Sigri is a small fishing harbour with limited tourist infrastructure, a long way in feel from Mytilini on the other side of the island. Most people come here for the Lesvos Petrified Forest, the UNESCO geopark just inland, which is the reason the port sees any traffic at all. The village itself is quiet, with a handful of tavernas and rooms.
The route runs rarely, roughly once a week and only in certain seasons, so it needs planning around rather than assuming. Current sailings and fares are shown below, with tickets from around €44. If nothing is running, the standard approach is to sail to Mytilini and cross Lesvos by road, which takes a couple of hours.

Can you rent a car in Piraeus?

Tips for the Piraeus to Sigri 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.
- Over-the-counter seasickness tablets containing dimenhydrinate are widely available at Greek pharmacies and are effective for most people.
