About the Patmos – Piraeus crossing
From Patmos, Blue Star Ferries provides three weekly sailings to Piraeus, the main port for Athens. Departures are scheduled for late nights and early mornings, with the first crossing leaving at 00:15 and the last at 02:30. The journey across the Aegean Sea takes between 8 hours 10 minutes and 8 hours 30 minutes, depending on the specific vessel and schedule.
Timetable and Booking
Sailings are currently rostered for Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. With only three services available per week distributed across these five days, the schedule is not daily. Advance booking is advisable, especially during peak travel seasons, as capacity is limited. Fares start from €43 for a single foot passenger ticket.
Port Connections
The vessels used by Blue Star Ferries on this route are typically the Blue Star 2 or Blue Star Patmos. Upon arrival in Piraeus, passengers have access to onward ferry connections to destinations including Crete (Chania and Heraklion), the Cyclades, and the northeastern Aegean islands like Chios. Patmos itself also has ferry links to Kos and Leros within the Dodecanese island group.
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.
