From Piraeus to Patras by Train

The Question:

Yasou stavros,
I live on Paros island and want to take the boat late october from patras to venice which leaves patra at 2300 and am finding it very difficult to find out train timetables with the ose.gr site from Piraeus to patra. My boat gets to Piraeus about 15.30 and you wrote before there is a train direct from Piraeus to Patras? Or do I have to get up to Larissa station. Also maybe you know if the buses to patra pass by Piraeus as its such a struggle with bags to get to Kiffisou .Your info site is very helpful many thanks The Ose site is very bad cant even find Piraeus on it and I can read greek,

The Answer:

Hello!
Certainly there is a train departing straight from Piraeus port to Patras. This is actually the line of the suburban railway (proastiakos) that will take you up to Kiato and then you need to switch to the train of Patras. Nevertheless, to check timetables of the suburban railway you can visit www.proastiakos.gr and select the route from Piraeus to Kiato. Timetables will appear as well as the departure times of your connection train to Patras. As far as I have checked these are some of the trains that suit you in case you arrive at 15.30 at the Piraeus station:
15.44, 16.44, 17.44 etc.
Thank you for your kind words and I really hope I have helped!
