About the Aegina – Piraeus crossing
The return from Aegina to Piraeus runs three times a day: 10:10, 14:10 and 18:10 on weekdays and Saturdays, with Sunday moving to 16:00 and 20:00 to give day-trippers a longer afternoon on the island.
Aegina is the closest of the Saronic islands to Athens and the one most Athenians treat as a weekend annex — pistachio groves, the temple of Aphaia, and a harbour front that fills on Sunday evenings. The conventional ferry is slower than the hydrofoils but takes cars, which is the point.
A single is €11.90 and the return ticket is discounted to €10.10. A car costs €29 one way, but midweek returns are cut by 31% to €20. Children aged 5–10, disabled passengers and members of large families pay half; under-fives travel free. Olympian Ferries shares this crossing with several other operators, so check whose boat your ticket is for.
Your destination
About Piraeus
Piraeus is the busiest passenger port in Europe and it is laid out like a working harbour, not an airport: gates E1 to E12 are strung along roughly four kilometres of waterfront, and the one on your ticket decides whether the walk from the metro takes five minutes or forty-five. Everything else — which boat, how early, whether you can bring the car — follows from that.
