Gavrio, Andros to Kea Route Map
Gavrio to Kea is a long link across the northern and western Cyclades, run by Hellenic Seaways on the Artemis. The sailing takes around eight hours, because the ship calls at several islands rather than making the short direct hop the map suggests. It is a conventional ferry carrying vehicles as well as foot passengers.
Kea, also known as Tzia, is the closest Cycladic island to Attica and a long-standing weekend destination for Athenians rather than a mainstream tourist island. Ferries dock at Korissia on the northwest coast, with the hilltop capital of Ioulida a short drive inland. The island is known for its walking trails, the ancient stone Lion of Kea and quiet swimming coves.
The direct sailing runs about once a week, and the current timetable and fares are shown below. Fares start around eight and a half euros. Kea's usual mainland link is the short crossing from Lavrio, which runs far more often if the direct boat from Gavrio does not fit.

Tips for the Gavrio, Andros to Kea ferry
- Gavrio port is not Andros Town – Chora lies around 32km away on the opposite coast, roughly a 50-minute drive. If you're heading there, check KTEL bus times or arrange a taxi rather than assuming a short hop.
- A KTEL Andros bus meets arriving ferries at Gavrio and runs on to Batsi, Chora and Korthi, but departures from the port can run about 15 minutes late whenever the ferry itself is delayed.
- If you are travelling with a car, check in at Gavrio at least an hour before your sailing – vehicle queues build well before departure, and boarding for cars closes earlier than for foot passengers.
- Sunglasses are essential on open deck in the Aegean – the reflected glare off the water is very intense, especially in the middle of the day.
- Wind on open deck is a reliable form of air conditioning in summer – many Greeks head straight to the deck rather than the air-conditioned saloon.
