Route guide

Piraeus to Fourni ferry

Piraeus–Fourni links Athens with the small North Aegean archipelago between Ikaria and Samos. Blue Star Ferries currently lists up to two routes each week and a journey from about 8 hours 30 minutes. Departures are shown from Piraeus Gate E7, with the live booking result confirming the exact vessel, intermediate island calls and final arrival time.

The route normally uses a conventional passenger-and-vehicle ferry, so it works for both foot passengers and travellers taking a car. At 8 hours 30 minutes or more, the crossing is long enough to compare reserved seating and cabin options on the assigned ship. Individual departures can call at several islands, which is why the final itinerary and arrival time shown in the booking should take priority over the published minimum journey time.

Fourni Town is the main arrival point in an archipelago known for fishing villages, deeply indented bays and a slower pace of travel. Blue Star currently lists onward links to Ikaria, Samos, Mykonos, Syros and Chios. With only a small number of weekly Piraeus sailings, the route works best when accommodation and onward island plans are built around the actual operating days rather than an assumed daily timetable.

Timetables can change between seasons and weekdays. Check the live result for the exact sailing date, vessel and check-in requirement before arranging tightly timed onward plans.

If you are connecting to accommodation, another ferry or ground transport, leave a sensible margin after the scheduled arrival. Weather, port traffic and boarding operations can occasionally affect the final timing.
