Reasons to book a water taxi

Our water taxis are the best alternative way to skip the cable car. We can arrange a water taxi from the tender port to Athinios ferry port where there is direct car access.
This service is suitable for travelers who

  • Cannot wait at the long lines. Sometimes the line of people waiting to get on the cable car can be pretty long and the waiting time can exceed the 1 or 2 hours, depending on how many cruise ships will be at the port. (see the picture)

  • Do not want to ride a donkey.

  • Are afraid of heights.

How it Works

When cruise passengers disembark from tender boats, our representative is waiting for them holding a sign with their name on it. Then he / she will help them to embark on the reserved water taxi and sail to Athinios port.
The ferry port at Athinios is located around 7 kilometers (4.4 miles) to the south of Fira. The journey time takes no more than 20-30 minutes.

Safety

The skippers are Transport Greece certified professionals. Vessels have a rigorous maintenance schedule, are inspected regularly and meet all European safety standards.

Fares

€ 220 Euros per way. The taxi can accommodate more than 40 guests in comfort.
