About the weather on this route

Do fast ferries to Mykonos get cancelled often due to wind?

Yes. Between June and August, Meltemi winds in the Central Aegean reach 50–70 km/h speeds. Fast ferries are cancelled more often than conventional ferries, especially in exposed areas like Tinos and Mykonos. On average, 10–20 summer cancellations occur per season.

What sea conditions should I expect from Piraeus to Mykonos?

The Central Aegean is exposed to open-sea swell and strong winds. Wave heights range from 1.5 to 2.5 meters in summer during Meltemi peaks, and up to 3.5 meters during autumn storms. Sheltered areas near Syros and Naxos may offer slightly calmer passages.

    Our ferry got cancelled this morning from Naxos to Athens and disrupted our flight plan for later in the day. We now need to book alternate travel. How is the weather looking for tomorrow from Naxos to Athens in order to get back via a fast ferry?
