John KarkalatosUPDATED October 9, 2023

The Cyclades and Argosaronicos gates are located in front of the ISAP/Metro stations. The gate of Crete in the church of Agios Dionysios, the North Aegean islands and the Dodecanese gates in Drapetsona.

The gates are as follows:

Gate	Destinations	Entry/Exit
E10	Western Cyclades, Samos, Ikaria	Exit only
E9	Western Cyclades, Samos, Ikaria	Entrance only
E8	Argosaronicos	Entrance/Exit
E7	Cyclades	Entrance/Exit
E6	Cyclades	Pedestrian entrance
E5	Port bus departure point (OLP bus)	Pedestrian entrance
E4	Kythera	Exit only
E3	Crete, Kythera	Entrance/Exit
E2	Crete, Chios, Mytilene, Samos, Ikaria	Entrance/Exit
E1	Dodecanese	Entrance/Exit

Below I have made a map regarding the gates. I have put pins at the gates, at the port bus stops and at all the ticket booths. Most gates have air-conditioned waiting rooms.

Gates E10, E9, E7, E6 for Cyclades

From E10, E9 ferries depart for the Western Cyclades and from E7, E6 for the rest of the Cyclades islands. At E6 in front of the ISAP/Metro stations, Blue Star Paros departs for Syros - Tinos - Mykonos, Blue Star Delos with the route Paros - Naxos - Ios - Santorini and Blue Star Naxos. At E6 there is a Blue Star ticket booth as well as a taxi rank, a waiting room and a canteen.

Blue Star Myconos departs from E7 for Syros - Mykonos - Eastern Aegean islands, while on E10 - E9 Champion Jet 2, Champion Jet 1 , Tera Jet, Aqua Jewel, HighSpeed 4 and Dionysius Salmon.

How to get to E10, E9, E7, E6: entrance for vehicles is prohibited at the E10 gate. If you are going with your vehicle, enter from the E9, E8 or E7 located at Akti Miaouli and Akti Tzelepi. E6 is an entrance for pedestrians only and is located opposite the ISAP/Metro stations.

Gate E8 for Argosaronicos

Ferries depart here for Aegina, Agistri, Methana, Poros, Hydra, Ermioni, Spetses and Porto Heli. Here you will find Aero Highspeed, Flying Cat 4, Flying Cat 5 and Speed Cat 1. The gate is located between those of the Cyclades and has common waiting areas and canteens.

How to get to E8: it is located on Akti Tzelepi opposite the square with the statue of Karaiskakis. It is an entrance and exit for vehicles.

Gate E2 for Northern Aegean

Here are Nissos Samos, Nissos Rodos, Blue Star Chios and Blue Star Patmos. There is a waiting area as well as canteens.

How to get to E2: it is located in Drapetsona and you may get there with your vehicle or the port bus.

Gate E3 for Crete

At E3 depart the ferries for Crete. Here is Blue Star Galaxy, Elyros, Knossos Palace, Kriti II, Festos Palace and the Kydon Palace. There is a waiting area on the spot. Ferries for Crete also depart from E2.

How to get to E3: it is located opposite the church of Agios Dionysios on Akti Kondyli and Akti Ietionia. Since it is a remote gate you have to go there either by your own vehicle or the port bus.

Gate Ε1 for Dodecanese

From there depart Blue Star 2, Blue Star Patmos and Blue Star Ariadne for Dodecanese islands. There is a waiting area at the site as well as a Blue Star ticket booth.

How to get to E1: it is located in Drapetsona at Ietionia Akti. You will go there either by your vehicle or by the port bus.

Ticket booths

Each shipping company has ticket booths at the corresponding gates for the passengers to purchase or print an e-ticket if required, you will not face a problem. At Minoan Lines ticket booth at gate E2 I saw that there are also ticket vending machines. On the Google map above I list them all one by one with their exact location.

Ticket booths per gate are as follows:

Gate	Shipping company
E10 - E9	Zante Ferries, Seajets
E8	Saronic Ferries, ANES, Seajets, Alpha Lines, Blue Star Ferries, Hellenic Seaways, Aegean Flying Dolphins
E7	Blue Star Ferries, Hellenic Seaways, Aegean Speed Lines
E6	Blue Star Ferries
E4	Blue Star Ferries, ANEK Lines
E3	Blue Star Ferries, ANEK Lines
E2	Minoan Lines, Blue Star Ferries, Hellenic Seaways
E1	Blue Star Ferries, Hellenic Seaways

Waiting areas - Port bus - Canteens

Waiting areas are open air with an awning or spaces with air conditioning at all gates as well as toilets. There are also canteens but mainly in Cyclades - Argosaronicos. Then there is only one near E4 and two more at E2.

The port bus is free and starts roughly from the pedestrian bridge and reaches the gate E1. It does not go to the Cyclades and Argosaronicos gates. At the bus stops there are seats with awnings. The stops are:

Stop	Exact stopping point
1. ISAP starting point – Suburban railway	Pedestrian bridge - gate E5
2. Agios dionysios 1 – OSE	Gate E3 at Agios Dionysios

Route information

The telephone 14541 provides route information: gates, arrivals, departures, delays, detention of departure. From a landline is charged €0.92 and from a mobile €1.55.

Taxis

Everywhere throughout the port and at the most distant gates there are taxi ranks you will not have any trouble finding one. They are gazebos with a characteristic yellow awning. The fare is predetermined only for the transfer to and from Athens Airport "Eleftherios Venizelos": single fare (05:00-00:00) €42 and double (00:00-05:00) €73.50.

Parking lots

The parking areas are limited at the Cyclades and Argosaronicos gates. From E3 to E1 there is much more space for parking and clearly much less traffic. There are also some private parking lots around the port.
