All big ports have different departure gates (e.g. the port of Piraeus). You will usually find electronic boards at the port entrances informing passengers about departure gates and departure times for each ferry company and vessel. At some ports, every company has its own separate terminal. In this case, you can simply go to the company’s terminal. If you need assistance finding your departure gate, you can always ask the port staff for help.
Please note that the departure / arrival port may change at the last minute if the ferry cannot dock due to adverse weather conditions or other reasons. Therefore, we recommend that you ask the local travel agency or the port authority to verify where your ferry will be departing from / arriving.
