Gavrio, Andros to Lavrio Route Map
Gavrio to Lavrio is a long, roundabout link between Andros and the Attica mainland, run by Hellenic Seaways on the Artemis. The sailing takes around nine and a half hours because it works its way through the western Cyclades rather than heading straight across. This is a genuine island-hopping line rather than a direct transfer, so treat it as a day's travel.
Lavrio is a port town on the southeast coast of Attica, a historic mining town built on the ancient silver mines and now a secondary Athens-area ferry gateway. It has its own dedicated port well away from central Athens, which makes it a useful way of avoiding Piraeus traffic altogether. The Temple of Poseidon at Sounio is a short drive south along the coast if you have time before onward travel.
The route sails about once a week, with the current timetable and fares shown below. Fares start around ten euros. For a direct run to the mainland from Andros, the frequent Rafina crossing is much the faster option.

Hiring a car
Can you rent a car at Lavrio port?
Rental desks at Lavrio itself are scarce; the port is a working harbour about 60km southeast of Athens and roughly 40km from Athens airport, a 30-40 minute drive. Most people picking up a car for a Cycladic ferry from here collect it at the airport or in Athens beforehand, or arrange supplier delivery to the port; compare options at Discover Cars.
Do you need a car in Andros?
Practically, yes. The ferry lands at Gavrio in the northwest, while the capital Chora sits around 32km away on the opposite coast, too far for casual bus-hopping between villages. Rental offices operate near the port, and supply tightens in August, so book ahead. Compare suppliers at Discover Cars.

Tips for the Gavrio, Andros to Lavrio 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.
- The flat bow (prow) area of a large ferry is usually accessible and offers outstanding forward views – one of the best spots to stand during harbour entry.
- When the vessel is manoeuvring into port, crew will announce boarding locations over the PA system; listen for instructions on which gangway to use.
