Route guide

Plan your ferry from Mytilene to Piraeus

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

For a departure from Mytilene, start by locating the ferry terminal and checking how to reach the correct boarding point. Mytilene is the principal ferry port and capital of Lesvos, with road connections around a very large island. It is a practical ferry point for the city, southern villages and longer journeys toward Plomari, Petra and Molyvos.

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 Mytilene departure and Piraeus arrival on the same dated itinerary. Sailing times and intermediate calls can differ between directions, so use the Mytilene 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.
