Ferry from Souvala (Aegina) to Athens (Piraeus)

Souvala, on the north coast of Aegina, runs back to Piraeus in around an hour and five to an hour and twenty minutes aboard the Saronic Ferries vessel Antigone. This is a conventional ferry rather than a fast craft, so it carries vehicles and takes longer than the high-speed boats from Aegina Town. Fares start around €11.

Piraeus is the main port of Athens, a short distance southwest of the city centre and one of Europe's busiest passenger ports. The port is large and split across numbered gates from E1 to E12, so check which one your ferry uses in advance. The metro and suburban rail station at the harbour runs straight into central Athens, and there are buses to the airport from the same area.

The service runs a few times a day, year round though thinner in winter. Current departures and fares are shown in the table below. From Piraeus there are connections onward to the Cyclades, Crete, the Dodecanese and the other Saronic islands.

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 Souvala to Piraeus ferry

• If you are island-hopping across multiple islands, pack light – you will be lifting your bag on and off ferries, into overhead racks, and up and down steps repeatedly.
• Evening arrivals into a lit island harbour are particularly beautiful; consider timing a crossing to arrive at dusk if the schedule allows.
• Ferry companies often have a small ticket office or kiosk at the port – useful for last-minute changes, upgrades, or questions about your booking.
• Ferries from Piraeus depart from the main port of Athens, giving easy access to the Acropolis, the world-class Acropolis Museum, and the ancient Agora. The historic Plaka neighbourhood at the foot of the Acropolis hill, with its neoclassical lanes, Roman ruins, and traditional tavernas, is the most atmospheric place to spend time before or after your crossing.
