About the Mykonos – Rafina crossing
The Mykonos to Rafina ferry is the full return run of Fast Ferries' eastern Cyclades line, carrying travellers from the famous cosmopolitan island back to the Attica mainland. Rafina is Athens' second port and sits close to the international airport, making this a practical crossing for anyone finishing a Cyclades trip and looking for a straightforward route home. It is one of the longer legs on the line, taking in two island calls before reaching the coast.
Mykonos to Rafina Ferry Crossing Details
The journey from Mykonos to Rafina takes around 260 to 285 minutes, roughly four and a half hours, as the ferry calls at Tinos and Andros on the way. These intermediate stops make it a leisurely coastal route back across the northern Cyclades, so it suits travellers who are happy to enjoy the sea time rather than rush.
There is a daily departure at 07:35, a weekday (Monday to Friday) sailing at 13:15, and a weekend service at 16:00. Fast Ferries runs the route with the vessels Theologos P., Fast Ferries Andros and Ekaterini P. Timetables change with the season and day of the week, so check the current schedule before you travel and allow time for boarding.
Because Rafina is much closer to Athens International Airport than Piraeus, this crossing is a favourite for travellers heading straight to a flight. A popular onward journey is the Rafina to Mykonos ferry for the reverse trip, and you can plan everything through our Greece ferries hub. Check operators for current prices and availability.
