Athens City Center to Lavrio Port Minivan Transfer
Book your private minivan transfer from Athens city center to Lavrio Port — the departure point for ferries to Kea, Kythnos, and select Cyclades routes. Lavrio is a small, authentic port town on the southeastern tip of Attica, offering a quieter and more local alternative to the busy ports of Piraeus and Rafina. Our 8-seat Mercedes minivan provides direct, door-to-door pickup from your hotel or apartment with a fixed €130 rate and professional service available 24/7.
The Route: Athens City Center to Lavrio Port
Lavrio Port is located approximately 60 kilometers (37 miles) southeast of central Athens. The transfer follows Syngrou Avenue south, then the coastal road through Glyfada, Vouliagmeni, and Saronida before reaching Lavrio. Journey time is typically 55–75 minutes under normal conditions. The coastal road section is scenic — passing through the Athens Riviera with views of the Saronic Gulf — making this one of the more pleasant transfers we offer.
Unlike the Piraeus route, this transfer avoids the congested city center ring roads, following a more direct southern arc through the Riviera suburbs.
Lavrio Port: History & Character
Lavrio has a remarkable history — the ancient silver mines here funded Athens' golden age and the fleet that defeated the Persians at the Battle of Salamis in 480 BC. The Archaeological Museum of Lavrio and the remains of the ancient mining installations are worth a visit if you have time before your ferry. Today, Lavrio is a working port town with a genuine local character, excellent seafood restaurants on the waterfront, and a relaxed pace that contrasts sharply with the industrial scale of Piraeus.
Ferry Routes from Lavrio Port
- Kea (Tzia): 1 hour — the closest Cycladic island to Athens, largely undiscovered by international tourists. Excellent hiking, traditional villages, and beautiful beaches.
- Kythnos: 2–2.5 hours — a quiet, traditional island with thermal springs at Loutra and uncrowded beaches.
- Syros: Seasonal services available — check current schedules when booking.
For Santorini, Mykonos, or Crete, use Piraeus or Rafina instead.
Combining with Cape Sounion
Lavrio is just 10 minutes from Cape Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon — one of Greece's most dramatic ancient sites, perched on a cliff 60 meters above the Aegean. If your ferry departs in the afternoon, we can arrange a stop at Sounion en route at no extra charge. Please mention this when booking.
