Question Is there a website that I can find all the ferry schedules from Piraeus to Santorini. My friend and I will be arriving May 31st 10:50 am and would like to take a ferry to Santorini instead of flying.
Answer Yiasou Kathy,
Thank you for the question,
Sorry for delay, I was again "away" from computerland.
There are ferrys (both 4-hr Hydrofoils and normal 8-hr ferrys) that go several times a day out of Piraeus to Santorini (THIRA).
Arriving at 1050 in the morning is a good time for the afternoon and evening sailings on the normal ferry, no advanced seating required.
Hydrofoil MAY require a reservation...so you may be out of luck on those.
Try this site and search and browse ...

Piraeus (Port) is about 45-min by taxi from Airport. Far cheaper by bus but allow at least an hour.
Hope this helps,
Have a safe trip
