Gythio to Antikythira Route Map
Gythio to Antikythira takes around four and a half hours on the Seajets Aqua Jewel, heading south past Cape Malea and calling at Kythira before continuing to the smaller island. It is a conventional car ferry, which matters on this stretch of water as the crossing can be lively. The service forms part of the longer Peloponnese to Crete run.
Antikythira is a tiny, sparsely populated island between Kythira and Crete, and one of the most isolated inhabited places in Greece. Visitor numbers are very low, and people who make the trip come for the solitude and for the birdwatching, as the island sits on a major migration route. It is best known indirectly, for the ancient shipwreck found offshore that produced the Antikythera Mechanism.
Sailings run a couple of times a week and are weather dependent, so the current timetable and fares in the table below are the thing to work from. Facilities on the island are minimal, and connections onward run either south to Kissamos on Crete or back north via Kythira.

Tips for the Gythio to Antikythira ferry
- A wide-brimmed hat provides better sun protection than a baseball cap on the open deck of a moving ferry, where the sun comes from multiple angles.
- Lightning storms are possible in spring and autumn; they are usually short-lived and rarely affect ferry operations, but can cause brief delays at loading.
- High-speed catamarans are more susceptible to cancellation in meltemi conditions than conventional roll-on roll-off ferries – the slower option is often more reliable.
