Gythio to Diakofti Route Map
Gythio to Diakofti on Kythira is the shortest leg of the Seajets run down the Peloponnese coast, taking a little over two hours on the Aqua Jewel. The ship rounds Cape Malea on the way, so conditions can be brisk, though the conventional ferry handles it far better than a fast craft would. Vehicles are carried, which is what most people use it for.
Diakofti is Kythira's main ferry port, a modern purpose built harbour rather than a village, so there is little there beyond the quay. The wreck of the cargo ship Nordland sits just off the harbour and is the local landmark. Almost everyone heads straight on to Chora, the island capital, a short drive away, or to Kapsali below it and Milopotamos inland.
The route runs four or five times a week in season, making it the most frequent of the Gythio sailings. Current schedules and fares are shown below. The same ships continue south to Antikythira and Kissamos on Crete, and there are separate connections to Kythira from Neapoli further round the coast.

Tips for the Gythio to Diakofti ferry
- If you need to change your ticket, it is usually cheaper to do so online than at the port ticket office, where a handling fee may apply.
- On routes served by high-speed catamarans, all seats are assigned – choose seats towards the centre of the vessel for the smoothest ride in choppy conditions.
- Delays are more common in peak season and in rough weather – check the board or your ferry operator's app rather than assuming your vessel is on time.
