Athens has two ports for the Cyclades. Piraeus serves most of the group, while Rafina, on the east coast of Attica, is the shorter way to the northern islands.
Before booking a Cyclades crossing, check which Athens port it leaves from: Piraeus and Rafina are on opposite sides of the city, and getting from one to the other takes time. The Piraeus – Milos ferry page follows Minoan Lines' overnight ship to Adamas, and the Rafina – Andros ferry page Seajets' car ferry to Gavrio.
Sailings to these islands follow calendars that the shipping companies publish date by date. The pages here show departures observed on specific dates and say so, rather than turning them into a weekly pattern.
