Kassos to Anafi Route Map
Kassos to Anafi is one of the long links between the Dodecanese and the Cyclades, worked by Blue Star Ferries on the Blue Star Chios. Sailing time varies a good deal depending on the routing, from under four hours on a direct run to around eight and a half hours when the ship calls at other islands on the way. It is a conventional overnight-capable ferry, so bring something to read and pick a seat you are happy with.
Anafi is a small, undeveloped island in the Cyclades, east of Santorini, and one of the least visited in the group. Ferries dock at Agios Nikolaos, the port village below the hilltop Chora, and the walk or short ride up to the Chora is the usual first move. People come here for empty beaches, quiet, and the Monastery of Kalamiotissa perched on its rock summit at the eastern end of the island.
The route runs a couple of times a week, with the schedule shown in the table below along with current fares. Anafi's connections are limited generally and often route via Santorini, so it is worth building a little slack into any onward plans.
