No direct train to Rafina. From the airport, take the suburban train to the city centre, then a KTEL bus or taxi to the port.

Getting around Rafina

Rafina itself is compact and walkable — the port, the ticket offices, the tavernas and the shops are all within a few minutes of each other, so once you arrive you rarely need transport in town.

For the beaches and nearby spots — Artemida, Nea Makri, Marathon and Schinias — a taxi or a pre-booked transfer is the easiest way, since they're not all on a convenient bus route. Travelling as a group or planning a few stops? A minibus transfer can work out well — just ask us.

Heading onward? Ferries to the Cyclades leave straight from the port — see the ferry search for live times and tickets.
