Diakofti to Neapoli Route Map
This short hop links Diakofti, Kythira's purpose-built ferry port on the island's eastern coast, with Neapoli, a quiet town at the southern tip of the Lakonian peninsula. It's the main lifeline between Kythira and the Peloponnese mainland, used as much by islanders running errands and shipping goods as by visitors threading Kythira into a wider Peloponnese or southern Greece itinerary. Diakofti sits some distance from Chora and Kapsali, the island's older harbour and main town, so factor in a drive either side of the crossing rather than assuming the boat drops you in the centre of things. Neapoli's port, in turn, is a modest working harbour rather than a resort marina -- straightforward to find your way around, with the town itself a short walk or drive away.
The strait between the Peloponnese and Kythira is open water rather than a sheltered channel, so it can turn choppy when the wind gets up, particularly in the exposed months either side of high summer. In calm conditions it's an easy, unremarkable crossing at just over an hour; check the schedule box above for the latest confirmed sailing times before you travel, since departures shift a little through the season. The route runs daily, with more crossings laid on at the height of summer and a steadier, lighter pattern once the season eases.
