Piraeus vs. Rafina Ferry Ports & Insider Booking Tips
- Blue Star Ferries vs. SeaJets: Conventional Blue Star ferries (Blue Star Delos, Blue Star Patmos, Blue Star Naxos) have open-air sundecks for photographing arriving Cycladic ports, cost 35–45% less, and handle summer Meltemi winds far more smoothly than small catamarans.
- Fly Back from Your Last Island: Instead of spending 5 to 8 hours sailing all the way back from Santorini or Crete to Piraeus on your final day, book a 45-minute flight on Aegean Airlines or Sky Express directly into Athens International Airport (ATH).
- Eurail / Attica Group Greek Islands Pass: The 4-day within 1-month Domestic Greek Islands Pass (€198 Economy) only covers Attica Group conventional ferries (Blue Star Ferries, Hellenic Seaways, Superfast, Anek Lines)—not SeaJets—so point-to-point tickets are usually cheaper unless you take 4+ long Blue Star legs including Crete or Rhodes.
