Blue Star ferry ticket agency Piraeus
 
I reserved seats online on a Blue Star ferry and got a confirmation number--when I went to click on the link that showed which ticket agency to get a real ticket it was all in GREEK...does anyone know where I can get my real tickets once I get to the Athens airport or the Ferry dock in Piraeus??? Getting pretty excited..less than a month until I am in Greece for my first trip!!!!!!!!!!

You can try Amphitrion Holidays and Pacific Travel at the airport, but if you need a Blue Star ticket office it's very close by to the Piraeus Metro station. There's also one in Central Athens close to Syntagma Square.

We won't actually be in central Athens--going straight from the airport to the dock. Is there a ticket booth right at the Blue Star dock where people buy their tickets and where I can just exchange my confirmation number e-ticket for the real thing??

Since you have made your bookings directly with Blue Star ferries, you cannot collect them from Amphitrion Holidays or Pacific Travel at the airport. These agencies can only print out tickets that have been booked throught their own website only.
Blue Star ferries will have a small kiosk infront of the ship before the departure , if you go there with the confirmation number they will print out the real ticket for you.
Just confirmed that with Blue Star Ferries headoffice in Athens. their info number is: + 30 210 8919800

Hi bornintheusa,

If, in fact, you booked on the Blue Star website, it couldn't be simpler. As clausar wrote, there is a ticket booth at the docks right next to the departing ferry. Bring your reference number and the ticket will be printed for you. There will be other passengers who didn't prebook buying tickets there at the same time. :-)

Thanks so much-- figure getting them before we get there and paying for them with credit card was easier than trying to figure it out sleep deprived from 24 hours with little sleep.
