Find the right boarding area

Blue Star Ferries publishes a Piraeus map showing its route groups and gates. Use it for orientation, then follow current operator and port instructions for your sailing.

Plan the land journey first

Check current public-transport information or arrange a transfer to the boarding area you need. Allow for movement within the port; reaching Piraeus is only part of the journey.

Travelling with a vehicle

Follow the vehicle reporting and boarding instructions supplied with your ticket. Keep the vehicle documents and passenger tickets accessible before entering the queue.

Port-day checklist

  1. Confirm the port and vessel on your ticket.
  2. Check current operator updates before setting off.
  3. Follow the reporting instructions for your passenger or vehicle category.
  4. Keep your ticket and required documents accessible.

Questions before you travel

Where exactly should I board or meet a driver?

Use the port, vessel and date on your ticket, then follow the current operator or port instructions. Agree on a precise meeting point rather than using an island or city name alone.

Are transfer times included in the crossing?

No. Plan the journey to and from the ferry separately, including any waiting time or ticket-collection requirement.
