Which ferry companies and vessels sail from Aegina to Agistri?
The route is operated by 3 ferry companies (Aegean Flying Dolphins, Magic Sea Ferries and Saronic). They share a very short crossing, but with different boats.
The Municipality of Agistri distinguishes two types. Flying Dolphins dock at Megalochori port and carry foot passengers only. Car ferries call at the natural harbour of Skala, where vehicles can also disembark. Some boats leaving Aegina make both stops, first at Skala and then at Megalochori.
The vessels currently on the route are F.D. Athina, F.D. Xix, Magic 5 and Poseidonas. If you are after a particular boat, you will see it in the search results along with its departure time.
Each company has its own rules on luggage, pets and ticket changes. Check the terms of the company you choose before you pay, especially if you are travelling with a bicycle or bulky items.
Fast boat or conventional ferry to Agistri?
The fastest boat makes the crossing in 10 min. The slowest needs 20 min.
The difference in minutes is small, so the choice mostly comes down to where you want to land and whether you have a vehicle. The Flying Dolphin takes you to Megalochori, the largest village and capital of Agistri. The car ferry drops you at Skala, about two kilometres from Megalochori along the coast road.
With a car or motorbike, only the conventional ferry will do.
The fast boat makes sense when your accommodation is in Mylos and you are carrying just one suitcase. On the other hand, if you are staying near the beaches of Skala, the boat that docks there saves you the transfer from one port to the other.
Aegina to Agistri Ferry Prices, Tickets and Availability
For sailings and prices from Aegina to Agistri, a passenger ticket starts from €4.00. The exact fare for the day you want appears in the booking form, where you can also book ferry tickets for the whole Argosaronic Gulf.
What pushes up the price on such a short route? Mainly the type of vessel and your vehicle. A Flying Dolphin to Megalochori and a car ferry to Skala are not necessarily priced the same way, and a car in the garage adds a separate fare. The company and the time of year also play a part.
Discounts
Reduced fares are set by each company, under its own terms and with the documents it asks for. Check the company’s terms before you choose a fare category, because at Aegina port you may be asked to show proof of your discount.
Online ferry tickets and electronic tickets
On bookferry.gr you choose the date and time, see the available boats and pay online. Your confirmation arrives by email.
Electronic tickets are issued for the route from Aegina to Agistri. Whether you need a printout at boarding depends on the rules of your ferry company.
Car and Motorbike Fares from Aegina to Agistri
The route takes vehicles. The car ferries arriving at Skala are the ones that carry cars and motorbikes, while the Flying Dolphins to Megalochori take foot passengers only.The vehicle fare is charged separately from the driver’s fare. It depends on the vehicle’s category and length, so enter these correctly in the booking form to see the final amount.
It is worth thinking twice before you load the car. Distances on Agistri are short, and Skala is linked to Mylos by a small private bus, which stops in front of the church of Agioi Anargyroi. In summer the same bus carries on to Aponisos, passing through Dragonera and Limenaria.
Departure Times and Frequency from Aegina to Agistri
The first departure from Aegina is at 08:45 and the last at 20:50. In between, boats leave at intervals through the day, with up to 12 departures daily and 67 sailings per week in total.
This frequency makes Agistri an easy next stop after a stay on Aegina. If you are arriving from Piraeus on another boat, leave a margin between your arrival and the departure for Agistri. That way a delay on the first leg will not cost you the connection.
