Tips for the Piraeus–Aegina Ferry
- Aegina is famous for its pistachios -- pick some up at the harbour.
- The Flying Dolphin hydrofoil is fastest (40 minutes) but costs more than the regular ferry.
- Piraeus port is large, with departure gates E1 to E10 spread along the waterfront – allow extra time to find yours, as it can be a 15–20 minute walk from the metro station, and check the gate number printed on your ticket.
- Ferries to the Saronic islands – Aegina, Hydra and the nearby islands – depart from Gate E8, while Cyclades sailings (Mykonos, Santorini, Paros, Naxos) leave from gates in the E6–E10 range, so double-check your specific gate on arrival.
- Once you arrive in Aegina, you'll find a charming Saronic island just an hour's ferry ride from Athens, best explored by bike or on foot. The island is known for its pistachio groves, the ancient Temple of Aphaia, and the picturesque harbour town.
