Worth knowing

Blue Star sails to Santorini daily; these are its October sailings. The 15:00 is direct from Gate E1, the 07:25 calls at two ports on the way from Gate E7. Report at the gate an hour before: the first airport metro reaches Piraeus about 07:13, too late for the 07:25, and for the 15:00 leave the airport by about 12:30.

The metro ends at Piraeus, not at the quay. The two Santorini boats leave different gates, E1 and E7: check yours on the operator's port map.

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