Ferry from Spetses to Ermioni

Spetses to Ermioni is twenty to thirty minutes on the Aero 2 or Aero 4 highspeed catamarans with Hellenic Seaways. It is a short hop across sheltered water from the island to the Argolid shore, and one of the quicker ways onto the mainland if you are not going all the way to Piraeus. Foot passengers only.

Ermioni occupies a small pine-covered peninsula facing the Saronic Gulf, a relaxed town that sees far fewer visitors than Spetses or Hydra. Waterfront tavernas, rocky swimming spots and the Bisti headland near the harbour are the draw, along with a steady trade in Athenian weekenders. It is also a useful place to pick up the road into the Peloponnese.

Sailings run a couple of times a day in season, so a return trip in a day is straightforward. Live departures and fares are in the table below, with prices starting around €13.50. Note that Porto Heli, a few minutes from Spetses by sea, is the other mainland option and often has more parking.

Hiring a car

Can you rent a car in Ermioni?

Yes, though choice is limited. Ermioni is a small mainland town in the Argolid, mainly a jumping-off point for ferries to Hydra and Spetses; a car matters more for reaching it from Athens or Nafplio than for getting around the town itself, which is small and walkable. A couple of local agencies operate near the quay. Compare options at Discover Cars.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tips for the Spetses to Ermioni ferry

• Booking a summer return to Athens a week or two before departure gives you flexibility while still securing a ticket before the final-week rush.
• If your itinerary is time-critical (flight the next day), always choose the conventional slow ferry over the fast catamaran in summer – reliability matters more than speed.
• In July, the meltemi typically produces its strongest conditions in the open Cyclades, particularly between Mykonos, Paros, and Ios; plan shorter hops in this area.
• A lightweight drybag or small tote is handy for beach days on islands – it doubles as your day bag on short crossings when you leave your main bag at the hotel.
