Diafani to Anafi Route Map

Diafani to Anafi runs with Blue Star Ferries aboard the Blue Star Chios, and the duration swings widely with the routing, from around six and a quarter hours on a direct westbound leg to nearly twelve when the ship works via Crete. It is a conventional ferry with a restaurant, indoor lounges and deck space. Check which routing your sailing takes, as the difference is a whole day.
Anafi is a small, remote island in the Cyclades east of Santorini and one of the least touristed in the group. The port village of Agios Nikolaos sits below the hilltop Chora, and the island's landmark is the Monastery of Kalamiotissa on a sheer rock summit at the eastern end. Beaches are empty and services are limited, so arrive with a plan for accommodation.
Sailings run around twice a week in season and effectively not at all outside it. The current timetable and fares are shown in the table below. Anafi's other connections are mostly through Santorini, which is the usual route in and out.

Tips for the Diafani to Anafi ferry
- Even in July, the open deck at 03:00 can be surprisingly cool due to sea spray and wind – bring a light sleeping bag or a large travel blanket.
- Summer heat makes sun-exposed upper decks very intense between 11:00 and 16:00; bring sunscreen with a high SPF and a hat even for short crossings.
- Once you arrive in Anafi, you can explore the amphitheatrically built Chora, which sits on the ruins of an ancient settlement. A highlight is the hike to the Monastery of Panagia Kalamiotissa, perched on the eastern side of the island with sweeping Aegean views.
