Neapoli to Diakofti Route Map

Map of the Ionian Islands showing the ferry route south from Neapoli to Diakofti.

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 quay. 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. Current departure times and fares are listed below. The same ship continues to Antikythira and Kissamos on Crete on certain sailings, which is the only regular sea link between Kythira and Crete.

  • If you are prone to seasickness and see a Force 5–6 forecast, take preventive medication the night before as well as on the morning of travel.
