Two separate tickets: the metro at EUR 9.00 and the boat at EUR 40.00 do not cover each other.

The metro ends at Piraeus, not at the quay. The Hydra boats leave from Gate E9: check it on the operator's port map, which also marks a ticket point for the Saronic islands at the port gate.

Hydra has few sailings, and the last one back leaves at 17:45: a day trip needs the 08:00 or 10:00 out.
