Seajets
Fastest to the islands
About Seajets
Fast catamarans from Piraeus and Rafina to the Cyclades, including Mykonos, Paros, Naxos and Santorini, plus Crete. Quicker than conventional ferries, though rougher in strong winds. 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 Seajets before you travel.
