The Santorini to Piraeus crossing connects Santorini and Piraeus in Greece.
For a departure from Santorini, start by locating the ferry terminal and checking how to reach the correct boarding point. Athinios is Santorini’s main ferry port, set below steep volcanic cliffs with bus, taxi and transfer connections up to Fira and the rest of the island.
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 Santorini departure and Piraeus arrival on the same dated itinerary. Sailing times and intermediate calls can differ between directions, so use the Santorini 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.
