The Rafina ferry port near Athens. It’s much smaller and easier to get around than the Piraeus ferry port. All ferries here are within steps of each other. Tickets can purchased in Rafina but it’s much better to buy ferry tickets in advance.
Ferries from Athens (Rafina) to Mykonos
Mykonos is a 2.5 to 3-hour ferry ride from the Rafina Ferry Port by the fastest highspeed ferries and catamarans, and 4 to 6 hours by the slower car ferries. Most ferries from Rafina to Mykonos also stop in Syros and Tinos en route. In high season (May to October) there will be 4 to 7 ferries per day from the Rafina Port. In low season there will always be at least one ferry per day. There are also ferries from the Piraeus ferry port to Mykonos. Rafina is farther from central Athens than Piraeus but closer to the Athens airport.
• How to buy ferry tickets: Ferryhopper.com
• Best seats: I recommend Business or VIP if available (nicer seats in a more relaxed setting)
• When to book tickets: 2 to 3 months in advance (any sooner and some ferry routes might not be released yet, any later and some ferries could be sold out)Example Rafina to Mykonos Ferry Schedule
