Larger Flying Cats depart from Piraeus' main harbor and Rafina and service the Cyclades routes of: Naxos, Paros, Ios, Santorini and a route all its own: Heraklion, Crete.
And also service the islands of the Saronic Gulf: Aegina, Hydra, Poros, Spetses, usually departing Piraeus Marina Zea.
TIP: Flying Catamarans are stable; therefore less likely to be kept in port and fast if you are cutting it close.
Super fast
