Airport Code: ATH
| Operator | Vessel Type | Frequency | Operating Season |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blue Star Ferries | Conventional (Slower) | Daily | Year-Round |
| SeaJets | High-Speed | Daily (Summer) | Summer Seasonal |
Summer offers high-speed ferries 2-4 times daily. Winter reverts to conventional ferries 3-4 days a week.
During July and August, strong Meltemi winds can sometimes cause ferry delays. We strongly recommend booking large conventional ferries rather than small speedboats if traveling on a tight schedule to the airport.
