Ferries from Ermioni

Ermioni is a small Argolid port on the Peloponnese coast, and its seven sailings between 11:40 and 22:45 run the twenty-minute hop to Hydra and Spetses. Hellenic Seaways works it with hydrofoils. For anyone heading to those islands from Athens by road rather than from Piraeus by sea, this is the shortcut — the drive down takes about two hours and the crossing is a fraction of the time the direct ferry needs. The town sits on a low peninsula with harbours on both sides; the fast boats use the northern one. Ferries from here also connect onward to Porto Heli and the Saronic islands, so the port works as a mainland hinge for the whole group rather than a single-island link.
