Kissamos to Gythio Route Map
Seajets' Aqua Jewel links Kissamos in western Crete with Gythio 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.
Gythio is a neoclassical harbour town in the Mani, historically the port of ancient Sparta. Colourful buildings line the quay, 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. Gythio has no rail link, but road connections north to Sparta, Kalamata and on towards Athens are straightforward.

Tips for the Kissamos to Gythio ferry
- A sleep mask is almost as important as earplugs – interior corridors and saloons are rarely fully dark on overnight ferries.
- Alcohol makes seasickness worse; if the crossing is rough, stick to water and plain foods.
- The sirocco (southerly warm wind from North Africa) brings haze and uncomfortable heat to Greek ports in late spring and early summer; it rarely lasts more than a day or two.
- On overnight crossings, the restaurant typically serves dinner for the first few hours of the voyage; after midnight, only snacks and drinks are available.
- Seasickness wristbands (acupressure) help some travellers and have no side effects – worth trying if you prefer not to take tablets.
