Piraeus to Ermioni Route Map
Hellenic Seaways run Piraeus to Ermioni with the Aero Highspeed catamarans, taking around an hour and a half on a direct sailing and up to three hours when the boat calls at Poros, Hydra and Spetses on the way. These are modern foot-passenger craft with fixed indoor seating, quick and stable but with little outside deck. There is no car service on this route.
Ermioni is a coastal town in the Argolis, sitting on a small peninsula facing the Saronic Gulf. It is more relaxed and less touristed than Hydra or Spetses across the water, and popular with Athenian weekenders. The Bisti headland, with its pines and rocky coves, is the local walk, and the seafront tavernas are the main evening activity.
Sailings run most days in season, sometimes more than once a day, with fares starting around thirty-seven euros. The current timetable and prices are shown below. Ermioni also gives you quick access to Hydra and Spetses by ferry, and it is a practical mainland pick-up point if you are driving down through the Peloponnese.

Hiring a car
Can you rent a car in Ermioni?
Yes, though choice is limited. Ermioni is a small mainland town in the Argolid, mainly a jumping-off point for ferries to Hydra and Spetses; a car matters more for reaching it from Athens or Nafplio than for getting around the town itself, which is small and walkable. A couple of local agencies operate near the quay. Compare options at Discover Cars.
Can you rent a car in Piraeus?
Yes, several agencies meet passengers directly at the ferry gates (E1 to E12), so there is no need to arrange transport into central Athens first. It suits travellers continuing on to the mainland rather than islanders, since central Athens is only 20 minutes away and has good metro and bus links. Compare local suppliers at Discover Cars.

Tips for the Piraeus to Ermioni 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.
- Take Metro Line 1 or Line 3 to Piraeus station, then use the free shuttle bus that circulates around the port roughly every 10–15 minutes, linking the metro to all gates – useful if your ferry departs from a distant terminal such as E2 or E3.
- There is no parking inside the port itself, so if you are driving, use one of the private car parks nearby rather than looking for a space at the gate; ticket booths at each gate can print e-tickets if you have not already.
- A rough sea crossing in a large conventional ferry is inconvenient but very rarely dangerous; Greek ferry operators have strict safety protocols and experienced crews.
