About the Ermioni – Spetses crossing
The same boat covers this crossing in 20, 25 or 30 minutes depending on which departure you take. The 12:10 sailing takes 20 minutes and runs Monday to Thursday and Saturday. The 15:25 takes 25 and runs on Fridays. The 22:45 takes 30 and runs every day. The differences come from intermediate calls, not from the vessel.
A short hop with a long tail
Ermioni sits on the Argolic coast of the Peloponnese and Spetses just offshore, so the water crossed is minimal. What makes the timetable useful is the late-night departure: a boat leaving at a quarter to eleven at night exists on every day of the week, which is unusual for a link of this size.
Fares and craft
Tickets start around €11, and the service is worked by high-speed passenger craft rather than a conventional ferry. Vehicles do not cross here; Spetses restricts cars in any case, and the island is navigated on foot, by scooter or by horse-drawn carriage.
Reading the day column
Only one of the three departures runs seven days. If you are planning around the midday boat, note that it does not sail on Fridays or Sundays — the Friday slot moves to the afternoon instead, and Sunday has only the late service.
Your destination
About Spetses
Spetses bans cars, and the fastest way to reach it is to drive. That is not a contradiction — you drive to a village on the Peloponnese coast, park, and cross in ten minutes. The Piraeus hydrofoil takes two to three hours and most people book it because it is the option they can see, which is how an island ten minutes offshore ends up being an afternoon's journey.
