Psara to Piraeus Route Map
Psara to Piraeus is around seven hours on the Hellenic Seaways Nissos Samos, the direct link from one of the North Aegean's remotest islands to Athens. It is a conventional ferry with cabins and proper seating rather than a fast craft. Fares start around €37.50.
Piraeus is the main port of Athens, a few kilometres southwest of the centre and one of the busiest in Europe. A metro terminus at the harbour runs directly into the city, and the archaeological museum and Mikrolimano marina are nearby if you have hours to fill. The port spreads across gates E1 to E12, so confirm which gate your ferry uses.
Direct sailings run about twice a week, and the current timetable and fares are shown below. If they do not line up with your dates, going via Chios Town gives you far more options into Piraeus. Build in a buffer day before any flight, since this route is exposed to weather cancellations.

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.
