Standard/economy seats are the most popular and affordable option. In conventional ferries, these seats are situated on the deck or in internal lounges and are not numbered, so your ticket does not correspond to a specific seat. We recommend boarding the ferry early to ensure a comfortable seat.
Another option is the air-type seats, which are located in separate lounges. They are numbered, more comfortable, and the most affordable option among the seats you can reserve. There are also Business/VIP seats, the most expensive ones, situated in a separate lounge.
A standard ticket corresponds to an air-type seat in high-speed ferries, as those vessels offer only numbered seats.

The port of Piraeus

Ferries to the Cyclades, including Serifos, depart from Gates E6, E7, E9 and E10 at Piraeus Port. The gate of departure will be indicated on your ticket. Keep in mind that Piraeus is a big port and the distances between its gates are long, so arriving at the port at least 1-1.5 hours before your ferry’s departure is strongly recommended.

Luggage policies in Greek ferries are quite flexible.
Most companies allow 40 kg or 0.5 cubic meters of luggage per passenger and provide a luggage storage area on each ferry. If you wish, though, you can take your luggage with you to the lounges or the deck (if available).
It is highly recommended that you leave bulky suitcases in the designated area and take only your personal belongings (wallet, keys, mobile phone, etc.) with you upstairs.

To take your car or motorbike with you to Serifos, you need to purchase a vehicle ticket.
Drivers should be at the port 1 hour to 1.5 hours before the official departure time.
For safety reasons, passengers are not allowed to enter the garage during the crossing.
Note: Many car rental companies do not allow customers to ferry their vehicles. We recommend avoiding purchasing a vehicle ticket before contacting your car rental company.

Serifos does not have an airport, thus you can only reach the island via ferry.
