Anafi to Chalki Route Map
Anafi to Chalki is a long southeastern haul on the Blue Star Chios, Blue Star Ferries' ship on the Cyclades to Dodecanese line. Sailing time runs from around eight hours to nearly fourteen depending on the calls at Crete, Kasos and Karpathos en route. It is a conventional overnight-capable ferry, so plan for a night at sea on the longer rotations.
Chalki is a tiny island just off the west coast of Rhodes, very quiet and largely undeveloped. Ferries dock at Emborio, effectively the island's only town, where neoclassical and pastel-coloured houses line the small harbour. There is little to do beyond swimming at the quiet beaches, walking, and eating on the waterfront, which is the point.
Sailings run a couple of times a week, and the current timetable and fares are shown below. Fares start around €21. Chalki is most often reached from Rhodes on the short local crossing from Kamiros Skala, which is the fallback if the direct boat does not suit your dates.

Tips for the Anafi to Chalki ferry
- The upper open deck in summer is exposed to full sun; apply sunscreen before boarding and reapply if you spend more than an hour on deck.
- Some operators allow seat upgrades at the port ticket desk if higher classes have not sold out – worth asking if you arrive early.
- A foam sleeping mat or a folded jacket beneath you makes deck sleeping much more comfortable – the steel deck is hard and conducts cold.
- Air conditioning inside Greek ferries can be set very cold, especially in summer – keep a light layer in your day bag even in hot weather.
Plan a journey
Search for a connection between any two Greek ports, including journeys that need a change.
