Chalki to Anafi Route Map
Chalki to Anafi is a long haul on Blue Star Ferries' Blue Star Chios, taking anywhere from around eight hours to well over thirteen depending on the routing and the calls in between. It crosses from the Dodecanese into the Cyclades, so you are effectively riding the ship most of the way along its line rather than making a short hop. On a conventional ferry of this size there are lounges, a bar and deck space, and a cabin is worth considering on the longer variants.
Anafi lies east of Santorini and is one of the quietest islands in the Cyclades, with little development and few visitors even in August. Ferries arrive at Agios Nikolaos, the small port village below the hilltop Chora, and the walk or short bus ride up is the usual first move. The island is known for empty beaches and for the Monastery of Kalamiotissa perched on a huge rock at its eastern end.
Sailings on this pairing run a couple of times a fortnight rather than regularly, so this is a route to build a trip around. The current days, times and fares appear in the timetable below, and fares start around €21. Many travellers find it easier to route via Santorini, which has far more frequent onward links to Anafi.
