About the Rafina – Mykonos crossing
The Rafina to Mykonos ferry is the full run of Fast Ferries' eastern Cyclades line, connecting the Attica mainland with cosmopolitan Mykonos at the far end of the route. Known for its whitewashed alleys, windmills and famous nightlife, Mykonos is the glamorous finale of a crossing that also calls at Andros and Tinos, giving island hoppers several options along the way.
Rafina to Mykonos Ferry Crossing Details
The journey from Rafina to Mykonos takes about 4 hours and 20 minutes, sailing via Andros and Tinos. Rafina is Athens' second port on the Attica coast and sits closer to Athens International Airport than Piraeus, so many travellers reach the harbour directly from the airport rather than crossing the city to Piraeus.
There are typically two daily sailings, with departures at 07:30 and 17:30. The morning service is the popular choice for arriving in time to settle in before evening, while the later departure suits travellers landing in Athens during the day. Fast Ferries operates the route using the vessels Fast Ferries Andros and Theologos P, conventional ferries that carry both vehicles and foot passengers.
Fast Ferries is the operator serving this crossing. For current prices and to book, check directly with the operator, as fares vary by season and vehicle type. From Mykonos, a classic onward journey is the Mykonos to Santorini ferry, linking two of the Cyclades' most celebrated islands.
