The Journey

The Mykonos to Piraeus ferry is one of the Cyclades' most popular connections, operating every day with journey times from 2h 40m to 4h 48m and tickets from €44.00. The route is served by Seajets, Blue Star Ferries, with vehicle transport available on conventional ferries. Service runs year-round.

Piraeus is celebrated for stunning landscapes and authentic Cycladic charm. Arriving by ferry gives you a spectacular approach from the sea.

Insider Tip: The Mykonos to Piraeus crossing is one of the Aegean's most scenic routes. Grab a seat on the outdoor deck for unbeatable sea views. Traveling mid-week usually means emptier ferries and a more relaxed arrival. In peak season, book at least 2–3 weeks in advance to secure your preferred departure time.

Travel Tips

Plan your journey

Getting to Mykonos Port

Mykonos has two ports: most ferries use New Port (Tourlos), 2.5 km from Mykonos Town (Chora) and 4 km from the airport. Local buses connect the port to town every 10–15 minutes (€2). The SeaBus water taxi runs between Old Port and New Port every 10 minutes (€2). Taxis are available but expensive and scarce in peak season — book in advance via the Mykonos Taxi app. Arrive 45 minutes before departure in summer. The New Port area has cafés and a small supermarket.

Arriving in Piraeus

On return, ferries arrive at Gates E7–E9 in Piraeus. The Metro Line 1 departs directly from Piraeus station to central Athens (Monastiraki, Omonia, Victoria) every 5–10 minutes from early morning until midnight. Taxis are plentiful outside the terminal. For Athens Airport, take the suburban rail (Proastiakos) from Piraeus station — about 1 hour. Luggage storage is available at the port if you need it before your next connection.

Booking Tips for 2026

Seajets prices are lowest when booked 3+ months ahead. In summer, the fastest sailings (Worldchampion Jet routes) sell out weeks in advance. For the cheapest fares, choose earlier morning departures. Seajets is the best choice for the Athens–Mykonos, Mykonos–Santorini, and Santorini–Ios routes.

The best time to visit Piraeus is late May through early October. June and September offer the ideal balance: warm swimming weather, lower prices than peak season, fewer crowds, and the best ferry connections.

Yes — with journey times up to 4h 48m, overnight or late-evening departures are available on conventional ferry services. Overnight ferries offer cabin options (2-bed, 4-bed, or deluxe cabins with private bathroom) so you can sleep during the crossing and wake up at your destination. This is a great way to save a night's accommodation. Book your cabin class specifically when purchasing — cabin berths sell out quickly, especially in summer.
