Tips for the Piraeus–Aegina Ferry
- Catching an early morning sailing puts you on the island well ahead of the day-trip crowds – beaches are quieter and the harbour town feels entirely different before the midday rush.
- If your trip involves five or more ferry legs, build in a spare day or two at a central stopping point. Timetables shift and weather can cause delays; a buffer keeps the whole itinerary intact.
- Pack fragile items at the heart of your bag, padded on all sides by clothing – port baggage handling tends to be brisk rather than careful.
- The busiest departure and arrival windows at Piraeus are 07:00–09:00 and 18:00–22:00 in summer; queues for taxis and embarkation can be long, so allow extra time during these periods.
- 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.
