Timetable not published yet

The last known sailing on this route was on 20 September 2026. No timetable beyond that date has been published yet. Greek operators often release the next season’s schedules only a few months ahead, so this can be a seasonal pause rather than the end of the route. Over the last 12 months it ran from May to September, busiest in August (about one a day).

These are the sailings we recorded on this route from October 2025 to September 2026. They show what ran then, not a forecast: timetables change from year to year.

Santorini's ferries leave from Athinios, the working port cut into the caldera cliffs a good twenty-minute drive south of Fira, not the postcard harbour most visitors photograph. Rafina, at the other end, sits on Attica's east coast, a much shorter and easier run from central Athens and the airport than the crowds and queues of Piraeus. In between lies open Aegean water, so this is a proper long-haul crossing rather than a short island hop, and it suits travellers who would rather sail direct into the mainland side of Athens than backtrack through Piraeus after a stay on Santorini.

This is a low-frequency link rather than a route with sailings scattered through the day, so it's worth building your travel plans around the single departure rather than assuming you can chase a later boat if you miss the first. Check the schedule box above for the confirmed sailing time on your travel date, since it can shift slightly between months.
