Tips for the Syros–Anafi Ferry

  • The ferry quay sits right in Ermoupoli town centre, close to hotels, cafés and the bus station, so you can walk to most accommodation. In peak summer, arrive at least an hour early, or 60–90 minutes if you're bringing a car.
  • There's no single ferry ticket office at the port – tickets are issued by several independent travel agencies clustered near the harbour, so check your booking confirmation for pickup details rather than expecting one terminal counter.
  • A taxi rank is around 100 metres from the quay, but ranks empty fast in August, so pre-book a taxi or arrange a hotel transfer in advance rather than relying on hailing one on arrival.
  • Pack a compact rain jacket and a warm mid-layer – the on-deck temperature can drop significantly on overnight crossings.
  • 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.
