Kissamos to Gytheio Route Map
Seajets' Aqua Jewel links Kissamos in western Crete with Gytheio in the southern Peloponnese, a crossing of around six and a quarter hours. This is one of the few direct sea links between Crete and the Peloponnese, and it usually calls at Kythira on the way. It is a conventional ferry taking cars, which makes it useful for anyone driving between the two.
Gytheio is a neoclassical harbour town in the Mani, historically the port of ancient Sparta. Colourful buildings line the dock, and the islet of Marathonisi, joined to the town by a causeway, sits just offshore with its own legend attached to Paris and Helen. From here the Diros caves and the tower villages of the Mani peninsula are within easy reach by road.
Sailings run two or three times a week in season rather than daily, so dates need planning around. The current timetable and fares are shown below. Gytheio has no rail link, but road connections north to Sparta, Kalamata and on towards Athens are straightforward.

Tips for the Kissamos to Gytheio ferry
- On a sunny day, the sheltered lee side of the vessel (the side facing away from the wind) is the most comfortable spot on the outer deck.
- Do not leave valuables unattended in luggage – ferry saloons are busy places and opportunistic theft, while rare, does occur.
- A Force 6 wind produces wave heights of 2–3 metres; even passengers who do not normally feel seasick may be affected in these conditions.
- Card payments are accepted at most onboard bars and cafeterias on modern ferries; older vessels may be cash-only – have some euros in your pocket.
- Travelling in late September often means calmer seas than high summer – the meltemi has died down but the weather is still warm and settled.
