Antikythira to Gythio Route Map
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
- Catamarans offer a faster crossing but have a lower wind-speed tolerance; in July and August, a booking on a conventional ferry is more likely to run on schedule.
- Fragile items should be wrapped and packed in the centre of your bag, surrounded by soft clothing – baggage handling at ports is not gentle.
- Seasickness is more common on high-speed catamarans than on conventional ferries – if you are susceptible, take medication 30–60 minutes before boarding.
- Waterproof dry bags or zip-lock bags are useful for protecting electronics and documents from sea spray when spending time on the outdoor deck.
