Diakofti to Gytheio Route Map
Kythira to Gytheio is the shortest of the island's mainland links, about two and a quarter hours on the Seajets vessel Aqua Jewel. The boat crosses the Laconian Gulf towards the Mani coast, and the approach into Gytheio is an attractive one. It is a manageable crossing that does not eat the whole day.
Gytheio is a neoclassical harbour town in Laconia, historically the port of ancient Sparta, with coloured buildings running along the dockside. The islet of Marathonisi, linked by a causeway, is the town's set piece and carries the legend of Paris and Helen. Travellers use it as a base for the Diros Caves and for exploring the Mani peninsula.
Sailings run most days in the summer months and drop back sharply out of season. The current departures and fares are shown in the table below. There is enough of a town at Gytheio to sort out a hire car, and the road north leads to Sparta and Tripoli for onward buses.

Tips for the Diakofti to Gytheio ferry
- A neck wallet or money belt under your clothing is the most secure way to carry your passport and cards in busy ferry terminals and ports.
- Heating on winter ferries can be aggressive; dress in layers so you can adjust whether you are sitting inside or out on the deck.
- The smell of diesel and engine exhaust is stronger at the stern in summer heat; if you are sensitive to it, choose a bow-facing seat or the upper deck.
- Keep your ticket or boarding confirmation accessible throughout the journey – crew occasionally check tickets on board.
- If you are booking for a large group, call the operator or use their group booking form – online booking systems sometimes cap the number of tickets per transaction.
