I need to book a ferry for my return from Sifnos the day before my flight back. I’ve booked accommodation at ARTEMI. I’m torn between: - a ferry arriving at 4 PM in Lavrio with a free shuttle to the airport from the port for 168 € (for 3 people) - a ferry arriving at 8 PM in Piraeus for 90 €. Is it worth just adding a taxi from the airport to Artemi, or is it better to take the cheaper option arriving in Piraeus and then a taxi from Piraeus to my accommodation? I’m also wondering if arriving at 8 PM the night before my departure is cutting it too close? If the ferry is delayed, can I take another one? My flight isn’t until 10 AM the next day, so I do have some time... Thanks for your advice

Economically, the ferry to Piraeus will clearly be cheaper for you. If your boat is canceled (really bad luck), there’s still a boat leaving at 8 PM from Sifnos, so no worries.

Hi there,

I’ll be taking the Lavrio option. While the ferry to Piraeus is cheaper, you’ll have to pay for a taxi from Piraeus to Artemi, and it’s chaos trying to find a taxi at Piraeus.

If ferries are canceled due to weather, they’ll *all* be canceled, and you’ll miss your flight no matter what. But luckily, ferries being canceled because of wind doesn’t happen every other day either.
