Antikythira to Gythio Route Map

Map of the Aegean showing the ferry route north-north-west from Antikythira to Gythio.

This is the northbound run from Antikythira up to the Mani coast, operated by Seajets with the Aqua Jewel. Allow around four and a quarter hours, usually with a call at Kythira on the way. It is a long sit for a short distance on the map, which tells you something about how these southern routes are strung together.

Gythio, or Gytheio, is a neoclassical harbour town in Laconia that once served as the port of ancient Sparta. Coloured buildings line the quay, and the islet of Marathonisi is joined to the town by a causeway. It works well as a base for the Diros Caves and the deeper Mani peninsula, and there is enough of a town here to eat and sleep without planning ahead.

The service operates only a handful of times a fortnight and is weather dependent, so build in slack if you have onward travel booked. The live timetable and current fares are in the table below. From Gythio the road north leads to Sparta and on to Tripoli for buses towards Athens.

Tips for the Antikythira to Gythio ferry

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • On older vessels, cabin mattresses and pillows vary in quality; a small inflatable pillow or a rolled fleece as a substitute can improve your sleep.
  • Announcements for intermediate stops are made over the tannoy; if your island is not the final destination, make sure you are awake and ready in time.
