Athens (Piraeus) → Mykonos
Six sailings run in high season between Piraeus and Mykonos, and the route operates year-round, so this is one of the more forgiving connections on the network. The fast catamarans take 2h45m, the high-speed option 3h15m, and the conventional ferry 5h. Wind risk is moderate: Mykonos sits exposed to the meltemi in July and August, when afternoon departures are the first to slip. Book a morning sailing and leave at least two hours before any onward flight.
Wind & disruption risk: Moderate · 174 km (94 nautical miles)
