Why go

Piraeus, Rafina and Lavrio serve different island routes from the Athens area. Mykonos, Santorini, Milos, Naxos, Paros and Syros appear in the legacy air overview, but services change. Compare the complete journey, including the trip to the port and the ferry's stops, before choosing speed over convenience.

Useful to know

Check current routes and departure ports before booking an island sequence.
Leave flexibility around sea crossings when weather could disrupt travel.
