Gavrio, Andros to Kythnos Route Map
The Andros to Kythnos ferry route is a useful connection across the northern Cyclades, linking two islands that each reward visitors in quite different ways. Andros — the greenest and arguably most underrated island in the group — sits at the top of the chain, while Kythnos lies further south, quieter still and rarely overrun. Ferries run between them from March through to August, giving you a workable window for most holiday plans.
Sailings are not abundant on this route — you can generally count on around one departure a day during the season — so it is worth checking the timetable early and booking ahead if your dates are fixed. Missing the single daily ferry here is not a situation you want to find yourself in.

Tips for the Gavrio, Andros to Kythnos ferry
- Gavrio port is not Andros Town – Chora lies around 32km away on the opposite coast, roughly a 50-minute drive. If you're heading there, check KTEL bus times or arrange a taxi rather than assuming a short hop.
- A KTEL Andros bus meets arriving ferries at Gavrio and runs on to Batsi, Chora and Korthi, but departures from the port can run about 15 minutes late whenever the ferry itself is delayed.
- If you are travelling with a car, check in at Gavrio at least an hour before your sailing – vehicle queues build well before departure, and boarding for cars closes earlier than for foot passengers.
- If you are travelling overnight with a vehicle, you cannot access the car deck once the vessel is at sea; take everything you need from the car before departure.
- In Kythnos, the unique double sandy beach of Kolona – a narrow strip of sand connecting the island to the islet of Agios Loukas – is one of the most unusual bathing spots in the Cyclades. The village of Loutra is known for its therapeutic thermal springs, used since ancient times, while the car-free Chora is a classic Cycladic hilltop settlement.
