Two separate tickets: the metro at EUR 9.00 and the ferry from EUR 9.00 do not cover each other; the ferry is EUR 10.50 unless booked online on Aegina Ferries' own site.

The metro ends at Piraeus, not at the quay. Aegina Ferries names no gate at Piraeus; ask at the port or call its Piraeus office before you go.

The crossing takes 1 h 25 min, and three boats sail each way a day.

If the metro is closed, the X96 express bus runs from the airport to Piraeus all night, about 90 minutes at EUR 5.50.
