Tilos to Piraeus Route Map
The run from Tilos to Piraeus is one of the long overnight-scale hauls of the Dodecanese, worked by Blue Star Ferries with the Blue Star Patmos. Reckon on around fifteen hours from the quay at Livadia to the Athens waterfront, with calls at other islands along the way. It is a conventional ferry, so there are cabins, aircraft-style seats, a self-service restaurant and plenty of deck space to sit out the crossing.
Piraeus is the main port of Athens, a few kilometres southwest of the city centre and one of the busiest passenger ports in Europe. It is a sprawling place with numbered gates running from E1 to E12, so it is worth checking which gate your ship berths at rather than assuming. The metro and suburban rail terminus sits right by the harbour and runs straight into central Athens, and Mikrolimano marina and the archaeological museum are both within easy reach.
Sailings are limited, running roughly a couple of times a week rather than daily, and the pattern shifts with the season. The current timetable and fares are shown in the table below. Fares start around €65 for a deck ticket, and if you want a cabin on a night departure it is worth booking well ahead, as Tilos gets a small allocation on a ship that is already carrying passengers from further down the line.

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.
