Piraeus: Greece’s Gateway to the Sea

Piraeus, the vibrant port of Athens, serves as the doorway to the enchanting Aegean. As Greece’s largest port, it welcomes over 20 million travelers annually, ferrying them off to island paradises.

Set sail from Piraeus to the nearby Saronic Islands for a journey through history, or venture further to the iconic Cyclades, including Mykonos and Santorini. Explore the diverse landscapes of Crete, or immerse yourself in the rich history and scenic beauty of the Dodecanese and North Aegean islands.

But Piraeus offers more than just a departure point. Explore the picturesque Mikrolimano harbor, delve into maritime history at the museum, or indulge in fresh seafood along the waterfront. Piraeus embodies the perfect blend – offering island-hopping adventures alongside the charm of a coastal town waiting to be discovered.

Meet & greet

The islands are Greece’s crown jewel, so the ports on the mainland can get quite crowded, especially during the summer months. But with our meet and greet service, you can forget about the hassle of hunting down your driver amidst the chaos. Our English-speaking driver will be right there at the dock, holding up a sign with the name you provided when booking. Plus, you’ll get a call or text beforehand with all the details you need to link up with them smoothly.

Live boat tracking

Delays can happen, especially during busy times or adverse weather conditions. To make sure your journey goes smoothly, it’s a good idea to book your taxi in advance and give us all the details of your travel plans (like the ferry name, company, scheduled arrival time, and port of arrival). That way, our driver can keep an eye on your ferry’s route and be ready for any delays, even if you can’t get in touch with them directly.

Luggage assistance

In Greece, ferries usually don’t have a strict luggage limit, so you can bring along everything you need, from essentials to those extra comforts! Yet, lugging around luggage can be a bit of a chore. Don’t worry, though; our drivers are here to lend a hand, assisting you from the moment you step off the ferry until you reach our car. Just remember to let us know in advance when you make your booking how many pieces of luggage you’ll have. That way, we can ensure we reserve a car with enough room for you and your belongings.

Booking your taxi from the Athens Ports

To make sure we find the perfect car for you, all you need to do when booking your transfer from Piraeus or other Athens Ports to your hotel is to provide us with:

your name
date and time of arrival
name of boat
destination address
mobile phone number
number of passengers
number of pieces of luggage

Q&A for your Athens Port Transfer

How much does a taxi cost from Athens to Piraeus port?

When traveling from Piraeus Port to Athens city center by taxi, you can expect the fare to be approximately €25. However, it’s important to note that this is just an estimate, and additional charges like surcharges or traffic congestion may affect the final fare.

To ensure a smooth arrival and avoid any surprises, it’s advisable to consider booking your taxi ride in advance, especially during the busy summer months. Pre-booking guarantees a fixed price, providing peace of mind and eliminating concerns about fluctuating fares.

You may also opt for a private transfer service, which offers the convenience of a pre-arranged transfer with a driver waiting for you upon arrival. Private transfers typically come with a fixed price, offering transparency and assurance without the worry of hidden fees.

Which ports do ferries to the Cyclades islands depart from?

Ferries to the Cyclades islands set sail from various ports across Greece. The main departure points include Piraeus Port in Athens, Rafina Port (also near Athens), and occasionally from other ports like Lavrio.

Piraeus Port serves as the primary hub for ferry services to the Cyclades, offering frequent departures to popular destinations such as Mykonos, Santorini, Paros, and Naxos. Rafina Port also provides ferry connections to several Cycladic islands, particularly destinations like Andros and Tinos.

While less commonly used compared to Piraeus and Rafina, Lavrio Port serves as an alternative departure point for some Cyclades islands.

What happens if my boat is delayed and I have a pre-booked taxi?

Booking your taxi in advance provides an added sense of security, especially in the event of ferry delays. Our drivers monitor your ferry’s progress in real-time, allowing them to adjust to any changes in your arrival time and ensuring they’re ready to greet you when you disembark at the port.

However, if you happen to miss your ferry or if your trip gets canceled, please inform us promptly so we can assist you accordingly. If you’ve already paid for your trip, we’ll process a refund for you. Please note that in the case of a no-show, charges may apply.

For how long will the driver wait for me at the port?

Unless otherwise arranged, your driver will wait for you for up to 1 hour and 10 minutes from the time your ferry arrives.
