Athens to Santorini Ferry (2026) | Compare 9+ Tours

Q: Which port in Athens should I go to for the ferry to Santorini?

Most high-speed ferries depart from Piraeus Port, but some smaller vessels may use Rafina Port. Check your ticket carefully.

Q: What is the difference between high-speed and conventional ferries?

High-speed ferries are faster (approx. 5 hours) but more expensive and sensitive to wind. Conventional ferries are slower but cheaper and stable.

Q: How far in advance should I book my Athens to Santorini ferry?

Book at least 1-2 months in advance during peak summer (June-August) to ensure availability and better pricing.

Q: Can I bring a large suitcase on the ferry easily?

Yes, but for high-speed catamarans, space is limited. It is best to carry your luggage onto the ship yourself rather than relying on staff.

Q: What happens if my ferry is delayed due to strong Meltemi winds?

Strong winds often cancel high-speed ferries. Check your email/SMS; you may be rebooked on a slower ferry or offered a refund.

Q: How do I get from Piraeus Port to the ferry terminal?

You can take the Metro Line 1, local buses, or a taxi. Taxis are easiest if you have heavy luggage, but expect higher costs.
