Ferry from Kissamos (Crete) to Antikythira

Kissamos to Antikythira takes under two hours on Seajets' Aqua Jewel, the shortest leg of the line that connects western Crete with Kythira and the Peloponnese. Fares start around €8.90. It is a conventional car ferry, and the crossing runs through open water between Crete and the Ionian, so conditions can be lively when the wind is up.

Antikythira is a tiny, very sparsely populated island lying between Kythira and Crete. There is almost nothing here in the way of tourism: a small harbour, a handful of residents, and a landscape that draws birdwatchers rather than beachgoers. The waters offshore are where the Antikythera wreck and its famous geared mechanism were found.

Ferries call two or three times a week and the pattern is thin outside summer, so anyone stopping here needs to check the return sailing before landing. The current timetable and fares are shown below. Almost all traffic runs on the same line as Kythira and Kissamos, so those are the practical onward options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tips for the Kissamos to Antikythira ferry

• At smaller island ports, the quay surface can be cobblestone, wooden planking, or rough concrete – wheeled bags take a beating and can tip on uneven ground.
• The Cyclades are more exposed to the meltemi than the Dodecanese, which are sheltered by the Turkish coast – a relevant factor when comparing summer sea conditions.
• If you are travelling with young children, bring their identity documents; crew are required to check ID for all passengers regardless of age.
