Directions for Travelling to and From Athens Airport to the Island of Poros
Greece.
To allow you to easily travel to Poros [same day] - YOU MUST ARRIVE AT
ATHENS AIRPORT BEFORE 14.00 [later during July and August] Further
information is available on our website.
Athens Airport to Poros: This journey is in 2 parts:
Part 1.
Athens Airport to Piraeus: Approximate length of journey 1hr - 15 minutes.
You must arrive at Piraeus at least 45 minutes before journey departure
times, especially if it’s your first time. This extra time allows you to locate the
ferry departure point, get tickets and board at least 15 minutes before
scheduled departure times. We will liaise with you regarding your choice of
journey and times nearer your departure date, as Hellenic Seaways do not
publish journey times online until - approx 2 weeks in advance.
After collecting baggage, make your way to the exit doors, each door has a
number above the door, best exit is door 4. Leave via exit 4, directly outside
you will see bus stands, you are looking for bus X96, and they leave approx
every 20 minutes. You must purchase your ticket, [cost 3.20 €] before
getting on to the bus. These tickets are purchased from small booths
adjacent to the bus stands, you will easily see others buying tickets. We
recommend purchasing 2 tickets per person [ keeping one for the return
journey. On entering the X96 bus you must “stamp” or authorise your ticket
in the red machines inside the bus. Place your luggage adjacent to all other
suitcases. The journey will take at least 1 hour; and longer depending on
time of day - you are staying on the bus until it reaches its last stop at the
Port of Piraeus, you will also notice numerous docked ferries as you near
the last stop. You will see others leaving the bus for ferries, and in any case
if you are unsure just ask the driver. Piraeus is a very busy place; you now
must cross over a couple of roads to enter GATE E8, which is the entrance
gate for all departures to Argo - Saronic region of Greece including Poros
Island.
Part 2.
Depending on what journey you have chosen, Conventional Ferry or Flying
Dolphin [Hydrofoil] will now determine what actions are now required. It is
not possible to pre book conventional ferry tickets, these are purchased
from ticket booths advertising “Hellenic Seaways” on the quayside and
adjacent to the Ferries. Flying Dolphin [Hydrofoil] tickets can be pre booked
at www.hellenicseaways.gr or can [subject to availability] be purchased
before departure. To obtain your Flying Dolphin tickets you need to proceed
with your email booking confirmation or for direct purchase, to one
particular ticket booth. This is located en route to the boundary between
gate E8 and E9 a short 5-minute walk along the quayside; if in doubt just ask
at any ticket booth. Conventional ferries dock stern first, with departure
and destination information shown, hydrofoils dock side on [they may not
show departure or destination information] Your ticket will have the vessel
name printed. For Hydrofoils seat numbers are also allocated and shown.
Arrival in Poros, we will always try meet you at Poros harbour, sometimes for
unexpected reasons we are unable to do this. Should this happen, jump on
a taxi [taxi stance is located 50 mtrs from and adjacent to harbour] Ask the
taxi driver to take you to Odyssey apartments in Askeli, this will cost around
4 € and take around 5 minutes.
Return Journey to Athens Airport.
This is almost identical to the outward journey, earliest time of arrival in Piraeus from
Poros is 08.30 each day – you would need to catch the 05.40 Ferry from Poros. On
arrival in Piraeus the only change may be that the X96 bus back to Athens airport
may leave from a slightly different departure point, this is determined by time of day.
If you are uncertain just ask at any of the ticket booths outside the bus stances. The
coach will stop directly outside the Athens Airport Departures entrance.
Most airline check in opens 2 hours prior to departure.
