Neapoli to Antikythira Route Map
Neapoli to Antikythira is a long haul by any measure, around four and a quarter hours on the Porfyroussa, run by Porfyroussa Maritime. The route runs south from the tip of the Peloponnese past Kythira into genuinely open water, and it can be a rough passage when the weather turns. The ship is a small conventional ferry with a car deck, and sailings are cancelled readily in poor conditions.
Antikythira is one of the most isolated inhabited places in Greece, a tiny island between Kythira and Crete with a very small permanent population. There is next to no tourist infrastructure, and visitors tend to come for the solitude and the birdwatching rather than for anything organised. The waters offshore are where the Antikythera wreck and its famous mechanism were found.
Sailings are rare, a couple in a fortnight, and are as much a lifeline service as anything else, so getting off again needs planning as carefully as getting there. Current departures and fares are shown below. The same ship links Kythira and Kissamos on Crete, so Antikythira usually forms part of a longer chain rather than a standalone trip.
