From Venizelos, there is a shuttle bus (Number X95) going straight to the port of Piraeus (Port no8). The buses are also top of the line, very comfortable and air-conditioned. It makes absolutely no sense to take a taxi since it is as fast as the bus but will cost you ?30 instead of ?3 for the bus ticket. Chances are also very high that the driver will overcharge you, so confirm the price before you get in the taxi. The bus stop ? Karaiskakis Square? is next to Gate 8, from where the ferry boat as well as the hydrofoil boat leave for Poros. At Piraeus, you have the choice of the large spacious catamaran ferry or the flying dolphins (a hydrofoil ferry) to Poros island. Both ferries will bring you there in about one hour. If possible, take the larger catamaran ferry and take your seat on the right-hand side because it offers a better view of the coastline during the trip to Poros. The schedules for ferry boat and hydrofoil/ catamaran vary according to the season.
