Getting from Agistri to Thessaloniki

If you are heading to Thessaloniki from Agistri you are making your way from a small pine-covered island in the Saronic Gulf to the second largest city in Greece in the north of the country, with a waterfront that stretches for kilometres past the White Tower, exceptional food and a history shaped by Byzantine, Ottoman and modern Greek influences.

Take the ferry

There is no direct ferry from Agistri to Thessaloniki. A weekly ferry from Piraeus to Thessaloniki exists but takes around 27 to 28 hours stopping at multiple northern Aegean islands along the way. It is not a realistic option when flying takes just over an hour.

Getting there by air

Thessaloniki has an international airport with daily connections from Athens. Taking the Saronic ferry from Agistri to Piraeus, the metro to Athens Airport and flying to Thessaloniki takes around 55 minutes in the air. Total travel time is around 4 to 5 hours and is the most practical approach for most travelers.

Your best option

Take the Saronic ferry from Agistri to Piraeus and fly to Thessaloniki via Athens. It is the fastest and most practical approach. If you are traveling with a car, the ferry from Agistri already puts you at Piraeus with your vehicle, then drive north via the E75 motorway to Thessaloniki, which takes around 5 to 6 hours from Athens.
