- Vehicles: Not all ferries on this route carry vehicles (especially high-speed ones), so double-check before booking if you’re bringing a car or motorbike.

Fast vs Conventional Ferries: Which one should you choose?
On the Piraeus to Aegina route, you’ll find both high-speed (fast) and conventional ferries, and the choice mainly comes down to time, comfort, and whether you’re travelling with a vehicle.
Fast ferries (like those operated by Hellenic Seaways, Magic Sea Ferries or Aegean Flying Dolphins) can get you to Aegina in around 30–40 minutes. They are ideal for foot passengers and day trips, but do not carry vehicles and can feel more sensitive to wind and waves.
Conventional ferries (such as those by Saronic Ferries, Aegina Ferries, Remezzo Maritime Company, Saronikos Leve Ferries) take 70–85 minutes, but offer larger indoor and outdoor spaces, more stable sailing, and vehicle transport. They’re a better option if you’re bringing a car or prefer a more relaxed onboard experience.
In short, choose fast ferries for speed and foot travel, and conventional ferries for more space, stability, and travelling with a vehicle.
What to do on Aegina Island for a day
Aegina is ideal for a short escape. It’s a great choice if you want to combine culture, beach time, and good food without overplanning. When you arrive at the port, you’re already in Aegina Town, so you can start with a relaxed walk along the harbour, cafés, and shops just a few minutes from the ferry. From there, head inland to the Temple of Aphaia (about 20–25 minutes by bus or taxi), one of the island’s standout landmarks with wide views across the Saronic Gulf.
On your way back, shift the focus to the coast and set aside time for a swim. Agia Marina Beach is the easiest option with organised facilities, while smaller coves near Souvala offer something quieter.
Food plays a central role in the experience. You’ll come across Aegina’s pistachios in local desserts and products, and the waterfront tavernas are well suited for a long, unhurried meal by the sea.
With short distances between key spots, you can move around easily without a car, making Aegina a simple and rewarding day trip or weekend break from Athens. Before you head back, make sure to check the last ferry from Aegina to Piraeus so you can plan your return without rushing.
