Sigri, Lesvos - Piraeus Ferry tickets and routes 2026

Sigri, Lesvos - Piraeus: Ferry tickets and schedules

The ferry connection from Sigri, Lesvos to Piraeus operates during the summer with one weekly departure. The route is served by Blue Star Ferries with the conventional passenger and vehicle ferry BLUE STAR PATMOS.

The cheapest passenger ticket starts at €44, while fares for transporting a car start at €123, excluding the driver’s passenger ticket. The crossing takes 10 hours and includes intermediate stops at Mesta in Chios and Mykonos.

The ferry departs from Sigri early on Sunday morning at 01:30 and arrives in Piraeus at 11:30. As there is only one weekly sailing, the earliest and latest departure of the week are the same.

A total of 13 departures are scheduled from Sigri to Piraeus during the current summer season, from early June until the end of August.

The only weekly service is both the fastest and the least expensive direct booking option from Sigri to Attica.

Ferry ticket prices from Sigri, Lesvos to Piraeus

The lowest economy-class fare for an adult passenger starts at €44.

The basic fare covers economy-class travel without a reserved seat or berth. Accommodation options on the BLUE STAR PATMOS include:

• Economy class
• Numbered aircraft-style seat
• Interior cabin
• Exterior cabin
• Berth in a shared cabin
• Cabin for private use
• Pet-friendly cabin

Economy class keeps the total cost lower. A numbered seat is more practical for passengers who want a reserved place during the night.

A cabin costs more but provides a bed and private space. Although the ferry departs at 01:30, a large part of the journey takes place after sunrise. A cabin is the more comfortable option for a family or a passenger who wants to sleep immediately after boarding.

Available accommodation and the final price for the selected departure are displayed on booktickets.gr before payment.

How much does a car ticket cost?

The fare for transporting a car from Sigri to Piraeus starts at €123. The driver’s passenger ticket is calculated separately.

The final vehicle fare is determined by:

• The length and height of the car
• The vehicle category
• A roof box or luggage rack
• A trailer
• Any discount available to the passenger
• Available garage capacity

The BLUE STAR PATMOS has a garage capacity of 602 lane metres and can carry cars, motorcycles, motorhomes and commercial vehicles.

Taking a car is particularly useful for travellers staying in western Lesvos. Sigri is a considerable distance from Mytilene, and access by private vehicle is easier for families, passengers carrying several pieces of luggage and travellers coming from villages in the wider area.

After arriving in Piraeus, passengers with a car can continue directly to Athens, the airport or other destinations on the Greek mainland.

Departure time and journey duration

The ferry leaves Sigri at 01:30 and reaches Piraeus at 11:30.

The main details are:

• Sigri - Piraeus: 10 hours
• Departure: 01:30
• Arrival: 11:30
• Departure day: Sunday
• Arrival day: Sunday

The departure date requires attention. The ferry arrives in Sigri on Saturday night and leaves after midnight. The ticket shows Sunday, even if passengers are already at the port on Saturday evening.

The connection is suitable for same-day travel to Attica because departure and arrival take place on the same calendar day. It is not suitable for a day trip with a return to Lesvos on the same day.

Arrival at 11:30 allows passengers to reach central Athens before midday or during the early afternoon. Anyone continuing to a flight, business appointment or another departure should allow time for disembarkation and transport from the port.

Frequency and total number of departures

The direct Sigri - Piraeus connection operates once a week, every Sunday.

The current summer season includes 13 weekly departures. The final sailing takes place at the end of August.

This is a seasonal route:

• High season: one departure per week
• Low season: no direct Sigri - Piraeus connection
• Low-season alternative: departure from Mytilene port

This is the most important point to check before booking. Sigri does not have a daily connection with Attica. Missing the weekly ferry means travelling to another port in Lesvos.

The vessel’s main features include:

• Numbered seats: Yes

• À la carte restaurant
• Shop
• ATM

For a crossing of 10 hours, the accommodation category has a direct effect on comfort. Passengers who do not book a cabin should consider a numbered seat, especially if they want to rest during the first hours of the trip.

Direct connection and intermediate stops

The Sigri - Piraeus route is sold as one ferry ticket, but the journey includes intermediate stops.

The ferry follows this route:

• Sigri
• Mesta, Chios
• Mykonos
• Piraeus

The first stop is at Mesta on the western side of Chios. The ferry then calls at Mykonos in the Cyclades before continuing to Attica.

A single ticket covers the entire journey, with no change of vessel required. Passengers remain on the BLUE STAR PATMOS until Piraeus.

The port calls add to the journey time because the vessel must dock and allow passengers, vehicles and cargo to board or disembark.

Departure port in Sigri

Sigri port is located on the western coast of Lesvos. It serves Sigri, Eressos, Antissa and other areas of western Lesvos.

The port does not have numbered gates like Piraeus. Boarding takes place from the main quay, at the berth assigned to the BLUE STAR PATMOS.

Passengers should arrive at the port:

• 60 minutes before departure when travelling without a vehicle
• 90 minutes before departure when travelling with a car or motorcycle
• Earlier if a printed ticket must be collected from a port agency

Since departure is at 01:30, passengers need to arrive at the port on Saturday night. Travellers coming from Mytilene, Kalloni or another part of Lesvos should calculate the road journey carefully and avoid arriving only a few minutes before departure.

Vehicle loading begins before the last foot passengers board. Drivers must follow the crew’s instructions and have the vehicle ticket ready.

Arrival in Piraeus and port gate

The BLUE STAR PATMOS arrives at the central port of Piraeus at 11:30.

The vessel is handled in the area of gate E2, at Ietionia Coast. The final gate should be confirmed on the ticket and through the ferry company’s travel information, as operational requirements may result in a change.

Transport options from the port include:

• Metro
• Urban railway
• Suburban railway
• City buses
• Taxis
• Connections to the airport
• Transport to central Athens

Vehicles take longer to disembark than foot passengers. This additional time should be included when arranging another booking on the same day.

Cabins and seat selection

The 01:30 departure makes a cabin useful during the first hours of the journey.

The main options are:

• Numbered aircraft-style seat for a lower fare
• Berth in a shared cabin for one passenger
• Two-berth cabin for a couple
• Four-berth cabin for a family
• Pet-friendly cabin
• Accessible cabin for passengers with reduced mobility

A family of four should compare the cost of four numbered seats with a four-berth cabin. The higher cabin fare may be balanced by the privacy and the ability to sleep.

Passengers who want private use must reserve the entire cabin. Booking one berth does not automatically reserve all remaining beds in the cabin.

Alternative ferry routes

The Mesta connection provides access to western Chios, while Mykonos offers connections within the Cyclades. Both journeys are operated by the same vessel, with no ferry change during the relevant leg.
