Anafi to Rhodes Route Map
Anafi to Rhodes is one of the longest crossings in the Aegean, run by Blue Star Ferries on the Blue Star Chios. Sailing time ranges from around ten hours to nearly sixteen depending on how many calls the ship makes at Crete, Kassos, Karpathos and Chalki on the way. This is very much an overnight passage, so a cabin is worth considering.
Rhodes is the largest island of the Dodecanese, and the main harbour sits alongside Rhodes Town. The medieval Old Town built by the Knights of St John is a UNESCO World Heritage site and reachable on foot from the port, while Mandraki harbour nearby is the one associated with the legendary Colossus. Beyond the town there are beaches and resorts down both coasts and inland villages worth a day.
The route runs a couple of times a week, with the current timetable and fares shown in the table below. Fares start around €26. Rhodes is a major hub with links onward to the rest of the Dodecanese, Crete, Piraeus and Turkey, plus a busy international airport.

Hiring a car
Is it worth hiring a car in Rhodes?
Worth it if you're staying more than a couple of days, since the island is large and its two bus companies (Roda in the west, KTEL in the east) don't make it easy to combine both coasts in a day. The port is a 10-minute walk from Rhodes Old Town, with paid parking nearby. Compare local suppliers at Discover Cars.

Tips for the Anafi to Rhodes ferry
- Most Greek ports have a covered waiting area, though it can be crowded in summer – arriving early secures a seat in the shade.
- If you need a taxi on arrival at a small island, the queue can be long when a ferry docks – consider pre-booking or walking to your accommodation if it is nearby.
- Once you arrive in Rhodes, the medieval walled Old Town – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – is one of the best-preserved medieval cities in Europe, with the Street of the Knights and the Palace of the Grand Master as its centrepieces. Tsambika Beach on the east coast and the ancient hilltop site of Lindos are the island's other headline attractions.
