We arrive (we are travelling in the first rows of CE, which might help) at 18:30 on a weekday evening in September and we have tickets for a ferry leaving Piraeus at 21:00.

Because of the tight connection, I abandoned the idea of car hire at ATH and bought foot passenger tickets for the ferry, choosing to rent a car the next morning on Chios instead.

Hellenic Lines has allowed me to print out boarding passes for the ferry already and we can travel hand-baggage only without an issue.

Does anyone know how long it takes to get from ATH to the port in a taxi, assuming we get out of the airport between 19:00 and 19:30?

I really don't know Athens well, and if traffic is bad at that time of the day and all this looks too tight, I could move the flights to the day before. We are flying TLS-LHR earlier that day, otherwise I would have moved to an earlier LHR-ATH, of course...

Thanks for your input!
