About Blue Star Ferries

One of Greece's largest ferry lines, running big, comfortable conventional ferries from Piraeus to the Cyclades, the Dodecanese and other islands. Good value, with cabins on longer routes. Piraeus is the port of Athens and one of the busiest passenger ports in Europe, where ferries leave for the islands, and its seafront at Mikrolimano and Kastella is lined with fish restaurants. Buy ferry tickets ahead online in summer and arrive at the port at least an hour before departure; Piraeus is big, so check which gate your ship leaves from.

Timetables, fares and services change, so please check with Blue Star Ferries before you travel.
