Ferry Information

The majority of sea arrivals are from Italian ports and mostly all arrive at both Igoumenitsa and Patra.  Piraeus is Greece's busiest port and from here you will have access to and arrive from the vast network of the country's islands. Ships are grouped according to their destination and almost anyone asked will be able to tell you the precise location of any vessel. The cluster of ticket agents around the port are competitive and usually the only reason for shopping around is to find a faster or earlier ship. Ferry schedule details can be obtained from the Port Authority on 4226000 or online timetables from Greek Island Ferries (incorporates all major Greek ferry lines) or GTP Net. You should also use them to obtain timetable information if you intend sailing to Mykonos from Piraeus.
