Greece/ferry

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
