Santorini to Gavrio, Andros Route Map

Map of the Cyclades showing the ferry route north-north-west from Athinios on Santorini to Gavrio on Andros.

If you’re planning a journey from Santorini to Andros, the ferry is your connection between the volcanic south of the Cyclades and the green, unspoilt north. This is a route that operates outside the main tourist season — February and March — so you’ll be travelling with Greeks rather than crowds, and the Aegean will be at its most dramatic and unpredictable.

Hiring a car

Do you need a car in Andros?

Practically, yes. The ferry lands at Gavrio in the northwest, while the capital Chora sits around 32km away on the opposite coast, too far for casual bus-hopping between villages. Rental offices operate near the port, and supply tightens in August, so book ahead. Compare suppliers at Discover Cars.

Is it worth hiring a car on Santorini?

Yes. The ferry port at Athinios sits about 7.5km below Fira up a steep, winding road; the bus takes about 25 minutes and a taxi costs many times the fare. A car lets you reach Oia, Akrotiri and the red and black beaches at your own pace without waiting for infrequent buses; rental desks operate near the port, and you can compare prices across local suppliers at Discover Cars.

Tips for the Santorini to Gavrio, Andros ferry

  • Arrive at Athinios port at least 45 minutes before departure – the switchback access road down the caldera cliff often backs up in summer, and boarding can start earlier than the printed departure time.
  • If you're staying in Oia, note that no bus runs directly to or from Athinios port – you'll need to change at Fira, adding a ticket and a wait, so a taxi or pre-booked transfer is usually more practical.
  • Collect paper tickets from the Nomikos or Dakoutros travel agency booths at the port as soon as you arrive, rather than waiting until boarding – queues build quickly as departure time approaches.
  • If you're travelling by public bus, stow large luggage in the storage compartment underneath rather than carrying it aboard, as space inside is limited, especially on the busy Fira–Oia route.
  • A portable power bank is one of the most useful things to carry – reliable mains power is not guaranteed on any vessel.
