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 thirteen euro. 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

• On conventional ferries, the centre of the vessel at the waterline is the most stable point; if you feel unwell, move there and focus on the horizon.
• Very calm sea conditions – glassy water and no swell – are common in early June and late September. These are the most comfortable times to cross the open Aegean.
• At smaller island ports, the quay surface can be cobblestone, wooden planking, or rough concrete – wheeled bags take a beating and can tip on uneven ground.
• Some hotels and guesthouses will store your luggage after checkout until your evening ferry – always ask, as it is common practice and usually offered free of charge.
