Diakofti to Kissamos Route Map
Kythira to western Crete is one of the classic long southern crossings, run by Seajets with the conventional ferry Aqua Jewel. Expect somewhere between three and a quarter and three and three quarter hours, usually with a call at Antikythira in between. The route crosses genuinely open water, so a calm forecast makes for a much better trip.
Kissamos, or Kastelli, is the ferry town for the northwest corner of Crete, more agricultural and workaday than touristy. The harbour is a couple of kilometres from the old centre, and buses meet most arrivals for the run into town and on to Chania. Falasarna and Balos are close by to the west, and the Elafonisi road heads south from here.
Sailings run several times a fortnight rather than daily, with the busiest pattern in high summer. The timetable and fares in force are shown below, starting around thirteen euros for a foot passenger. Chania is roughly an hour by road from Kissamos, which puts the airport and the rest of Crete within easy reach on arrival day.
