In the conventional ferries operating the route from Athens to Agistri, there are only standard/economy seats that are situated on the deck or in internal lounges and are not numbered, so your ticket does not correspond to a specific seat. Therefore, you should board the ferry as soon as possible to get a comfortable seat. Bear in mind that you will have to keep an eye on your seat for the entire journey.
Another option is airplane seats, which are only available in the high-speed/catamaran vessels sailing between Athens and Agistri, and are more comfortable than economy seats.

The Port of Piraeus is the biggest and busiest port of Athens. It is located 12 kilometers from the city center and can be easily reached via public transport. Ferries departing for Agistri and the other Saronic islands leave from gate E8. The departure gate will also be indicated on your ferry ticket.
Due to the size of the port, the distance between the gates is long, so it is better to check in advance where the departure gate lies.
