Route guide

Piraeus to Folegandros ferry

Piraeus–Folegandros is part of Fast Ferries’ current 2026 Greek network. A published 2026 day sailing leaves Piraeus at 07:00 and reaches Folegandros at 15:45. The operator currently publishes up to six departures a week in the 2026 peak period. Treat these timings as planning guidance and use the live booking result for the exact departure, intermediate calls and arrival time on your travel date.

This service uses a conventional passenger-and-vehicle ferry. Cars and foot passengers can travel subject to availability, and the larger ship format provides indoor lounges, deck space and food service. On a crossing of about 8 hours 45 minutes, reserved seating or cabin accommodation can be worthwhile where offered, particularly for later-day or overnight journeys.

At Folegandros, the ferry arrives at Karavostasis Ferry Port. Ferries arrive at Karavostasis on the east coast of Folegandros. The small port settlement has accommodation and food options, while buses and taxis connect uphill to Chora and onward to Ano Meria. If your itinerary continues to another island, check connection times carefully because weather, seasonal schedules and multi-stop routing can alter the practical transfer window.

Even on Piraeus to Folegandros, fares and vessel assignments can vary by departure, so compare the live options rather than relying only on a typical journey time.

For Piraeus to Folegandros, the advertised crossing time is only one part of the journey. Allow for port access, check-in, boarding and disembarkation when deciding which departure best fits the day.
