Route guide

Plan your ferry from Ikaria to Piraeus

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

For a departure from Ikaria, start by locating the ferry terminal and checking how to reach the correct boarding point. Blue Star Ferries approaches both Evdilos and Agios Kirykos on Ikaria. These ports are on different sides of the island, so the live ferry point is important when arranging accommodation or a road transfer.

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

Including this crossing in a trip from the UK

Allow for the overland journey to Ikaria before choosing the ferry. A separately booked flight, train or earlier crossing may not protect you if you miss check-in. Use local times on both sides and check entry rules for each country on your full itinerary. Travel within Europe is not automatically free of document checks.

Read the UK ferry documents guide

Planning the wider journey in Greece

Greek island ferries are normally an onward stage after reaching Greece by air or by road and an Adriatic crossing. Piraeus, Rafina and Lavrio are separate Athens-area ports, and an airport connection needs time for travel and ferry check-in.

Planning advice for the journey from Britain

Passengers, vehicles and the fare

Select the correct passenger category before comparing Ikaria to Piraeus fares. A passenger-only boat cannot take a car, and a vehicle ferry may still have limited bicycle or foot-passenger availability. The travel modes shown in the facts panel should be checked against the specific sailing.

For a vehicle booking, give the full height and length including a roof box, rear rack or trailer. Where accommodation is offered, check whether a cabin or seat is required and whether meals are included. Request mobility assistance and any pet space before completing the booking, because these can have separate capacity limits.

Prices depend on the date, passenger mix, vehicle and ticket conditions. Compare the complete return cost and the amendment or cancellation terms. No fixed fare on this guide should replace a dated quote.
