The Skala, Agistri - Piraeus ferry connection offers several options for returning to Attica. Passengers can choose between a high-speed vessel that completes the crossing in less than an hour and a conventional ferry capable of transporting cars and motorcycles.

The distance between Skala and Piraeus is 37.18 kilometres, or 20.06 nautical miles. During summer, there can be as many as 12 departures per day, while fewer departure times are available once the peak travel period ends. The shortest crossing takes 50 minutes.

Which option works best for the traveller?

For passengers travelling without a vehicle, a high-speed vessel provides the shortest crossing. The journey can be completed in 50 or 55 minutes, with services arriving in Piraeus before midday, during the afternoon or in the evening.

Passengers travelling with a car must select a conventional ferry equipped with a vehicle garage. Achaios, Apollon Hellas and Poseidonas carry passengers, cars and motorcycles. Travel time on these ferries ranges from 1 hour and 25 minutes to 1 hour and 55 minutes, since the vessels call at Aegina before continuing to Piraeus.

The booking must be made for the port stated on the ticket. Agistri has two separate ports: Skala and Myli, which is located in Megalochori. Although the road distance between them is short, passengers cannot wait at either port and expect to board the same ferry.

Ferry routes from Skala, Agistri to Piraeus

Ferries operate on this connection throughout the year, but the number of departures changes from one season to another. From June to September, travellers can choose from more sailings between early morning and evening. The main connections continue during winter, although not all summer services remain available.

At the end of August and the beginning of September 2026, the first ferry leaves Skala at 06:40, while the final departure can be scheduled as late as 21:15.

Before buying a ticket, travellers should check:

• The exact departure port on Agistri
• The final boarding time
• Whether the selected ferry has a vehicle garage
• The journey duration and intermediate port calls
• The conditions of the selected discount

Timetables may be revised because of seasonal changes, weather conditions or operational decisions by the ferry companies. The search engine on booktickets.gr displays the sailings available for the selected travel date.

Is this a direct ferry connection?

Passengers can purchase a single ticket from Skala, Agistri to Piraeus without changing ferries. However, a direct ticket does not always mean a non-stop crossing.

Conventional ferries and several high-speed vessels call at Aegina before continuing to Piraeus. The port call is brief, and passengers remain on the same vessel. Some departures may include a second stop, which results in a longer total journey time.

Ferry duration from Skala, Agistri to Piraeus

The total journey lasts from 50 minutes to 1 hour and 55 minutes.

• High-speed passenger vessels complete the crossing in 50 to 60 minutes
• Conventional ferries require 1 hour and 25 minutes to 1 hour and 55 minutes
• Sailings with additional port calls may take longer

F.D. Athina, operated by Aegean Flying Dolphins, is one of the shortest options, completing the route in 50 minutes. Conventional ferries offer the added advantage of vehicle transportation and access to more outdoor areas.

Ferry ticket prices from Skala, Agistri to Piraeus

A standard adult passenger ticket starts at €13.50 on a conventional ferry. Basic fares on high-speed vessels range from €15.50 to €19.50, based on the company, seating category and selected departure.

These prices apply to a one-way journey. When booking a return trip, each leg is calculated separately, and an active commercial offer may be applied to the return fare.

Departure port at Skala, Agistri

Transport connections from the port include:

• The Piraeus Metro and ISAP station
• The suburban railway
• Local bus routes
• Taxis

Passengers continuing their journey from another gate should allow sufficient time to cross the port. Distances between individual gates can be considerable, especially when carrying luggage.

Facilities on board

There are no cabins on this short route. Conventional ferries provide indoor seating, outdoor decks, a snack bar and a vehicle garage. High-speed vessels offer numbered seats inside an air-conditioned passenger lounge.

Travellers who are sensitive to sea movement may prefer a seat in the lower, central section of the ferry. Access to an outdoor deck is not available on every high-speed vessel.

Luggage

Luggage must be placed in the areas indicated by the crew. The allowance reaches 50 kg on several ferries serving the route, although each company applies its own baggage policy.

Money, travel documents, electronic devices and other valuables should remain in the passenger’s personal hand luggage.

Pets

Pets must be declared during the booking process. The person accompanying the animal must carry an updated health booklet or pet passport.

Small pets travel in a suitable carrier. Larger dogs require a lead and muzzle and may need to remain in the designated pet area. Assistance dogs are subject to the applicable accessibility rules.

Alternative departure from Myli

When a suitable departure from Skala is unavailable, passengers can search for a ferry from Myli, the port located in Megalochori. The two ports are only a few kilometres apart and are connected by local bus or taxi.

Myli is mainly served by high-speed passenger vessels. This option can assist travellers without a car, but they should make sure they have enough time to travel from Skala to the correct port.

Another solution is to travel from Agistri to Aegina and then board a different ferry for Piraeus. Since this option requires a change of vessel, the two tickets should leave sufficient time between the first arrival and the next departure.

Useful information before departure

• Check whether the ticket states Skala or Myli.
• When transporting a car, select a ferry showing available vehicle capacity.
• Do not rely on an old saved timetable, especially when the summer sailing period is changing.
• Keep the mobile phone containing the e-ticket fully charged.
• Carry identification and all documents required for a discounted ticket.
• If another ferry or flight follows, allow sufficient time for a possible delay.
• On days with strong winds, check the sailing status before leaving your accommodation.
