Regular boat services link Piraeus with Agistri. The trip with the Flying Dolphin lasts about 55 minutes and arrives at the port of Milos. There is a car ferry service lasting about 1 hour 30 minutes that goes direct to Skala port. Besides the boats that bring you directly from Piraeus, you have the possibility of going from Piraeus to the island of Aegina, which is served with at least 15 trips everyday, either by fast hydrofoils that make the trip in 40 minutes or bigger ships that take 1 hour and 15 minutes. There are frequent connections from Aegina island to Agistri by the “Agistri Express”. If your arrival in Aegina does not correspond with the departure of the local boat, then there are water taxis that will bring you to Agistri in less than 10 minutes for an approximate cost of 45 to 50 Euro per trip. Water taxis are available 24/7.
