Ferry Athens (Piraeus) → Folegandros 🇬🇷🇬🇷
Sail from the port of Piraeus, Athens, to the small Cycladic island of Folegandros, one of the Aegean's most unspoilt escapes. Fast Ferries runs the conventional crossing aboard the Dionisios Solomos in roughly 6 hours 50 minutes, while SeaJets operates a high-speed catamaran, the Olympic Champion Jet, that reaches Folegandros in about 3 hours 40 minutes. Famed for its dramatic clifftop Chora, the cave-set Panagia church and quiet beaches like Agali and Katergo, Folegandros rewards travellers seeking the authentic, low-key Cyclades. Both operators sail daily through the summer season, so you can plan an early start from Athens and arrive in time for lunch by the sea.
