Getting from Agios Efstratios to Lavrio

If you are heading to Lavrio from Agios Efstratios you are making your way from one of the most isolated islands in the northern Aegean to the third ferry port serving Athens, on the southeastern tip of Attica around 30 minutes from Athens Airport. It is the departure point for ferries to Kea, Kythnos and several other Cycladic islands.

Take the ferry

There is a direct ferry from Agios Efstratios to Lavrio running 2 to 5 times a week year-round, taking around 11 hours 50 minutes. It is a long overnight journey but connects the island directly to the Athens area without flying. Check the schedule before planning around it as the frequency is limited and your travel dates need to align with the available departures.

Getting there by air

Lavrio has no airport. The nearest airport is Athens International, around 30 kilometres to the northwest. Taking the ferry from Agios Efstratios to Lemnos, flying to Athens and then taking a taxi to Lavrio gives a total journey time of around 4 to 5 hours and is considerably faster than the direct ferry.

Your best option

Take the ferry from Agios Efstratios to Lemnos, fly to Athens and take a taxi directly to Lavrio from the airport. At around 30 to 40 minutes it is one of the most convenient airport to port connections in Greece. If you are traveling with a car or prefer the sea journey, the direct overnight ferry from Agios Efstratios to Lavrio takes your vehicle and arrives in the morning.
