Gavdos to Chora Sfakion takes a little over two and a quarter hours, run by ANENDYK with the Samaria and the Daskalogiannis. Both are conventional coastal ferries carrying vehicles as well as passengers, crossing open water between the island and the foot of the White Mountains. It is generally the most direct way off Gavdos back to the Cretan mainland.
Sfakia, whose main village is Chora Sfakion, is a rugged and isolated stretch of Crete's south coast with a long history of independence from whoever was in charge elsewhere. The small harbour is the main arrival and departure point for walkers heading to or from Agia Roumeli and Loutro, and the coastal boats that link those places are small local craft rather than mainland ferries. The village itself is compact, with tavernas and rooms along the waterfront.
Sailings run a few times a week in season, and the route is not year-round. Current departures and fares are listed in the table below. A road climbs from Chora Sfakion up through the Imbros gorge towards Chania, and buses are timed roughly around ferry arrivals.

Tips for the Gavdos to Chora Sfakion ferry
- Very calm sea conditions – glassy water and no swell – are common in early June and late September. These are the most comfortable times to cross the open Aegean.
- Watch for swell forecasts as well as wind speed – residual swell from a previous day's storm can make a crossing rough even when current wind is light.
- The sea temperature in the Aegean ranges from around 15°C in winter to 27–28°C in late summer; falling overboard in winter is a serious emergency.
