Methana is a hidden gem in Greece offering peaceful village living, beautiful sea views, and unmatched tranquility—all within easy reach from Athens and nearby islands. Whether you’re an international visitor, a weekend escapee from the city, or someone planning to spend summers aboard your boat, Methana is wonderfully accessible by a variety of convenient travel options.

Arriving from Abroad

If you’re flying into Athens Airport, the journey to Methana is straightforward and flexible. You can hop on the metro directly from the airport to Piraeus port, where a scenic ferry awaits to take you to Methana. Alternatively, renting a car at the airport offers freedom to explore the beautiful coastal roads and countryside en route. Traveling by ferry from Piraeus is a relaxing 2-hour trip by sea, making the arrival a memorable part of your Greek experience.

From Athens and Surrounding Areas

For those living in Athens or nearby, Methana is an ideal weekend retreat just a 2.5 hours’ drive away via comfortable coastal roads through Corinth and Epidaurus. Regular KTEL buses connect Athens to Galatas, with local transport or taxis completing the short journey to Methana. Ferry services also run from the city’s port, provided you prefer traveling by sea.

Reaching Agios Georgios from Methana

Once in Methana, reaching the tranquil village of Agios Georgios is effortless. It is a short 15-20 minute drive along coastal roads, by car or taxi. Whether you're heading to your new home or just exploring the peaceful surroundings, the connection between Methana and Agios Georgios is seamless.

Island Hopping and Sailing

Methana serves as a strategic and charming base for hopping around the beautiful Saronic Islands. Quick ferries connect Methana with popular islands like Aegina and Poros, making day trips or longer stays convenient and appealing. For boat owners and sailing enthusiasts, there is Methana’s marina among others. Smaller ports such as Agios Georgios in our case, offer a remarkable advantage—docking without port fees, allowing you to keep your boat close- at walking distance- while you enjoy your home in the village.

Your Gateway to Year-Round Serenity

Methana’s accessibility means you can enjoy your peaceful country side home anytime—be it a long summer escape, intermittent visits from abroad, or restful weekends throughout the year. For Greeks, it’s a retreat where even winter offers tranquility and natural beauty. For international residents, Methana is both a relaxing destination and a gateway to wider travel adventures within Greece.
