Ermioni to Spetses is one of the shortest hops in the Argolic Gulf, and it shows in how the crossing feels: you barely have time to find a seat on deck before the boat is idling into Spetses harbour. Ermioni itself is a small, workaday port town on a pine-covered peninsula on the Peloponnese coast, with the quay right at the edge of the town centre, so there's no need to arrange transport out to a distant terminal. Because the route sits inside the gulf rather than facing open sea, the crossing tends to be sheltered, which makes it a comfortable option even for travellers who don't love choppier stretches of water elsewhere in the Aegean.
Sailings run on a daily rhythm for most of the year the route is active, with an extra crossing sometimes added at the busiest point of summer and the schedule easing back to a single daily departure as the season winds down. For the confirmed number of sailings on any given date, use the schedule box above rather than relying on a fixed figure, since operators adjust the timetable through the year.

Tips for the Ermioni–Spetses Ferry
- Children tend to find ferry journeys exciting rather than tedious; give them a small bag of activities or let them explore the accessible deck areas safely.
- If your itinerary is time-critical (flight the next day), always choose the conventional slow ferry over the fast catamaran in summer – reliability matters more than speed.
- Some hotels and guesthouses will store your luggage after checkout until your evening ferry – always ask, as it is common practice and usually offered free of charge.
- Once you arrive in Spetses, the island's car-free centre and horse-drawn carriage transport give it an elegance and calm that sets it apart among the Saronic islands. The Spetses Museum of History and Tradition offers insight into the island's proud role in the Greek War of Independence, and the pine-shaded coastline is dotted with appealing beaches.
