Serifos to Lavrio Route Map
Serifos to Lavrio is run by Magic Sea Ferries with the high-speed Hsc Cat I, taking about two and a half hours to the Attica mainland. It is a useful alternative to the Piraeus run for anyone based east or north of Athens, and the boat heads north across open water rather than threading the usual western Cyclades chain.
Lavrio is a working port town on the southeast coast of Attica, a historic silver-mining place that now serves as a secondary Athens-area ferry gateway. The harbour is compact and easy to walk out of, and it avoids the scale and gate-hunting of Piraeus entirely. The Temple of Poseidon at Sounio stands a short drive south along the coast, which makes a good stop if you have a car.
The route operates roughly daily through the summer season. Current departures, journey times and fares are listed below. Bear in mind that Lavrio is around an hour and a half from central Athens by road or KTEL bus, so allow for the transfer when connecting to a flight.

Hiring a car
Can you rent a car at Lavrio port?
Rental desks at Lavrio itself are scarce; the port is a working harbour about 60km southeast of Athens and roughly 40km from Athens airport, a 30-40 minute drive. Most people picking up a car for a Cycladic ferry from here collect it at the airport or in Athens beforehand, or arrange supplier delivery to the port; compare options at Discover Cars.
Do you need a car on Serifos?
Not strictly. Chora sits on a hill about 4.5km above the port at Livadi, and a bus, roughly fifteen minutes for two euros, runs regularly between the two in summer. A car or scooter, hired from the small handful of offices in Livadi, makes sense for reaching the island's scattered beaches, but book ahead: the rental fleet is limited and August sells out fast. Compare prices at Discover Cars.

Tips for the Serifos to Lavrio ferry
- A light cardigan or jacket is still useful in summer – the spray and wind on open deck can make even a 30°C day feel cool when the vessel is at speed.
- If you are connecting to another ferry on the same day, check whether both depart from the same area of the port to gauge how much walking time you need.
- Wi-Fi is available on board many Greek ferries but is often slow and unreliable; download maps, podcasts, and entertainment before you board.
- The bow (front) of the vessel experiences the most pitching in head-on swells; the stern tends to be smoother when seas are rough.
- Sun loungers or open deck chairs are available on most large ferries – these are extremely popular in summer and fill quickly after departure.
