Minoan Lines would like to inform its passengers that, due dredging works at the Port of Piraeus being carried out by the Piraeus Port Authority (PPA), from Saturday, October 11, 2025, the company’s vessels FESTOS PALACE and KNOSSOS PALACE, instead of their permanent berth at Ietonia Akti (Gate E2), will be temporarily moored, for a short period of time, at a new pier located nearby, at Akti Vassiliadi(Gate E2), in front of the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Insular Policy.
Tickets will continue to be issued from the existing MINOAN LINES Ticket Office/Kiosk (*at Ietonia Akti, Gate E2), as well as from the new temporary Ticket Office/Kiosk near the new berthing position (**at Akti Vassiliadi, Gate E2).
For exact locations, please see here:
Passengers with vehicles may head directly to the new pier by entering through Gate E2, while pedestrian passengers may use the shuttle buses departing from outside the “Piraeus” Metro station, inside the port area. These buses stop both at the permanent and at the temporary kiosks.
After the completion of the aforementioned works, the company will issue a new announcement to inform the traveling public and freight companies.
