Welcome to the West Pier of Rio! We’re your connection point for convenient travel across the strait and beyond.

We operate as a key departure and arrival point right in the heart of Rio, close to the iconic Rio-Antirrio bridge. Getting to us from your starting point is simple:

• On Foot: Enjoy a pleasant 15-20 minute walk (approximately 1.2 km) heading west along Posidonos Street, following the signs towards the port.
• By Bus: Several local bus lines – 602, 604, 605, and NAF – stop near the West Pier. Look for the "Δυτική Προβλήτα Ρίου" (West Pier of Rio) stop, a short 7-minute walk from the ferry terminal.
• By Taxi: A quick and easy 5-minute taxi ride will bring you directly to the pier.

Our primary service is frequent ferry transport to Antirrio and other destinations. We pride ourselves on keeping you moving, with a schedule designed to fit your needs:

• Weekdays (Monday - Friday): Ferries depart from early morning until late at night, with increased frequency during peak hours. Expect departures every 45 minutes between 05:00 and 06:30, every 30 minutes between 06:30 and 09:00, and every 20 minutes between 09:00 and 23:00, then returning to 45-minute intervals between 23:00 and 02:30.
• Saturdays: Service runs from the morning until late evening.
• Sundays: Similar to Saturdays, with service from the morning until late at night.

We offer a comfortable and efficient travel experience. The West Pier is fully equipped to handle both passenger and vehicle traffic.

• Tickets can be purchased directly at the pier, or for added convenience, you can secure them in advance online.
• For the most up-to-date schedules and any service adjustments, please consult the official Port Authority of Patras website or utilize a public transport app for real-time information.

Returning is just as easy! When you arrive back in Rio, simply hop on one of the familiar bus lines or take a taxi to reach your destination. We look forward to welcoming you aboard!
