Route guide

Plan your ferry from Iraklia to Piraeus

The Iraklia to Piraeus crossing connects Iraklia and Piraeus in Greece.

For a departure from Iraklia, start by locating the ferry terminal and checking how to reach the correct boarding point. ferries use Agios Georgios, Iraklia’s harbour settlement on the north-east coast. The port, beach and basic visitor services are close together, while Panagia lies inland and the island’s more remote coves require local transport, walking or boat access.

On the other side of the crossing, Piraeus is your arrival port. Piraeus is easy to combine with Athens using metro and suburban rail, while much of the waterfront can be explored on foot.

Compare the Iraklia departure and Piraeus arrival on the same dated itinerary. Sailing times and intermediate calls can differ between directions, so use the Iraklia to Piraeus result when planning your trip rather than assuming the outward timetable applies in reverse.

Check the total cost for everyone travelling, including any vehicle, reserved seat, cabin or other option offered. A later arrival in Piraeus may affect your next connection or accommodation, so compare the whole journey as well as the fare.
