At sea, the voyage lasts 4.1 days at 12 knots, 3.5 days at 14 knots and 2.7 days at 18 knots.

1,178 nm of the route, 100% of it, lies inside Mediterranean Sea ECA. In an emission control area ships must burn fuel with no more than 0.1% sulphur or clean the exhaust with scrubbers. That fuel costs more, and carriers add it to the ocean freight bill as a low sulphur or ECA surcharge.
Container freight rates on Piraeus to Valencia move with fuel prices, ship capacity and the season. Compare several carriers before booking: the cheapest sailing is often the slowest one. At Valencia (ESVLC) carriers give about 6 free days before demurrage and detention charges start, so plan the truck or rail pickup before the box lands.
