Departure and arrival ports
Leaving from Piraeus
Ferries to Koufonisia leave from the Cyclades gates near the metro and train station. Blue Star shows your gate when you check in (online or at the port); Seajets usually leaves from E9 or E7 and usually sends you an SMS with the gate. Some sailings use E1 or E2 at the other end of the port, so always check and allow extra time, as the gates are far apart. Be at the port at least an hour before departure. Piraeus port guide →
