Rhodes to Anafi Route Map
The Rhodes to Anafi ferry route is one of those connections that rewards travellers willing to go a little further off the beaten track. Rhodes itself needs little introduction -- it's one of the great islands of the Dodecanese, with a walled medieval city, sun-bleached beaches, and a harbour that has seen millennia of history. Anafi, by contrast, is one of the quietest and least-visited islands in the whole Aegean. Getting there by ferry is how most visitors arrive, and the crossing feels like a genuine transition from the busy to the blissfully unhurried.
Service runs year-round, with roughly two departures a week. That's not a lot of flexibility, so it pays to plan ahead -- particularly if you're travelling in summer, when berths fill up faster than you might expect for such a remote destination.

Rhodes to Anafi Ferry Fares
Lowest fare by vessel class
From €26.00 on a conventional ferry. A high-speed crossing and a conventional one are different products at different prices, so they are listed separately rather than reduced to a single figure.

Official maximum fares on subsidised sailings
These are ceilings set by ministerial decision for public-service (PSO) sailings, quoted net of VAT and port dues. They are the most an operator may charge on a subsidised departure, not a fare on sale, and they do not apply to commercial sailings on the same route.

Hiring a car
Is it worth hiring a car in Rhodes?
Worth it if you're staying more than a couple of days, since the island is large and its two bus companies (Roda in the west, KTEL in the east) don't make it easy to combine both coasts in a day. The port is a 10-minute walk from Rhodes Old Town, with paid parking nearby. Compare local suppliers at Discover Cars.

Tips for the Rhodes to Anafi ferry
- Rhodes has two separate ferry ports: large car ferries such as Blue Star Ferries use Akandia, while Dodekanisos Seaways catamarans and small boats to Symi depart from Kolona, just outside the Old Town walls – check your ticket for the correct one.
- Akandia port is roughly a 20-minute walk from the Old Town and has no shelter, seating or toilets while you wait, so it is more comfortable to wait in town and take a taxi straight to your ferry.
- Arrive at least one hour before departure to allow time to check in, since boarding for ferries from Rhodes typically closes around 20 minutes before the scheduled sailing time.
- Washing clothes at island laundries (found on almost every inhabited island) means you can travel with less; a 3–4 day supply of clothing is usually enough.
- Once you arrive in Anafi, you can explore the amphitheatrically built Chora, which sits on the ruins of an ancient settlement. A highlight is the hike to the Monastery of Panagia Kalamiotissa, perched on the eastern side of the island with sweeping Aegean views.
