The port of Lavrion is embraced with the coastal town of Lavrio. It is a modern port serving passenger ferries, freight ferries, charter and private yachts, sailing boats, fishing boats and cruise ships. Lavrio is a great starting point for a sailing trip in the Cyclades islands, only 14 nm from Kea island. Starting and ending from Lavrion can be combined with a visit to the ancient temple of Poseidon at cape Sounion.
