Neapoli to Diakofti Route Map
Neapoli to Diakofti is the main way onto Kythira, an hour and a quarter aboard the Porfyroussa with Porfyroussa Maritime. It runs south from the Laconian coast round the shoulder of Cape Malea, water that can get lively when the wind is up. The ship is a conventional car ferry, so vehicles cross without difficulty, which matters on an island where you will want one.
Diakofti is a purpose-built modern ferry harbour rather than a village, functional rather than picturesque, and there is little there beyond the port itself. The wreck of the cargo ship Nordland lies just offshore and is visible from the dock. Most arrivals head straight on to Chora, Kapsali or Milopotamos, all a short drive away.
Sailings run two or three times a day in the season, which makes this a reliable crossing to plan around. The timetable is shown below, but no fares are published yet. The same ship continues to Antikythera and Kissamos on Crete on certain sailings, which is the only regular sea link between Kythira and Crete.
