Any suggestions for the best company to use to book ferries in Greece? I'm going from Lavrio Port to Kea, then to Kythnos, then to Serifos and lastly to Sifnos, then back to Piraeus. I'm considering Ferryhopper.com and Greeka.com. I'll be there from June 4 - 27th. I'm also wondering if I should book my tickets online before I leave or just wait until I get there?? Thanks!!

While ferryhopper is convenient for checking ferry timetables and routes, it is best to book on the ferry companies' websites themselves.
There’s no need to worry about booking in advance; you can easily purchase your ferry ticket on the island you’re visiting to travel to the next one.
Have you figured out how to get to the port of Lavrio

I figured I would take a bus or taxi from the Athens airport to Lavrio. Any suggestions?? Would I be able to get a ferry ticket at the port for that day’s ferry to Kea?? Or get a ticket online a few days earlier?? Thanks!

Magic Sea Ferries have a bus service that connects from the airport with their ferry in Lavrio. However the ferry does not go to Kea but straight to Kythnos, Serifos, Sifnos and Kimolos. https://magicseaferries.gr/en/bus-service/
Going back to Piraeus from Sifnos I would prefer Fast Ferries but that is a personal choice because I’m absolutely not a fan of Seajets.

A taxi, although more expensive, will probably be more convenient than the bus. If you take a KTEL bus (orange and white regional bus) from the airport, you must change at the Markopoulo bus station. The journey takes about an hour.
Bus schedule
By taxi, it's about 30 minutes.
You can book the first ferry before leaving for Greece if you think it's more convenient and don't want to buy tickets at the last minute on the day of your arrival. Just be sure to arrive at the port on time to catch it.
