About the Lavrio – Kea crossing
Two sailings connect Lavrio with the island of Kea on Mondays and Fridays. The first departure is at 07:00 and the last is at 16:30. Both Blue Star Ferries and NEL Lines operate services on this domestic Greek route. The crossing takes 1 hour to complete. Standard foot passenger fares start from €11.50.
Vessel and Route Logistics
Lavrio is located on the southeastern coast of the Attica peninsula, approximately 60 kilometers from central Athens. The port serves as an alternative to Piraeus for access to several Cycladic islands. Both operators on this route utilize conventional vehicle-carrying ferries, allowing for the transport of cars, motorcycles, and other private vehicles.
The journey from the port of Lavrio covers the sea passage to the port of Korissia, which is the main port on Kea. From Kea, onward ferry connections are available to the island of Kythnos. The short crossing time makes this a direct link for both residents and those bringing vehicles from the mainland.
