Syros to Gavrio, Andros Route Map
Syros to Gavrio takes about three hours on the Artemis of Hellenic Seaways, a conventional ferry working the western Cyclades line that ties Andros, Tinos, Syros and Kea together. It is a modest, unhurried crossing on a ship with deck space and simple seating rather than a fast catamaran. The route is useful because it links islands that are otherwise awkward to combine without going back to the mainland.
Gavrio is the main port of Andros, the northernmost of the Cyclades, and it is more of a gateway than a destination. The harbour is a straightforward working ferry port with cafes along the front and a small beach nearby. Buses run out to Batsi and on to Chora on the east coast, which is where most of the island's sights, beaches and walking trails are.
The service runs about once a week, so it needs planning around carefully; the current timetable and fares are shown below. Fares start around €7.50. If it does not fit, Andros is also reached frequently from Rafina on the mainland.

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.
Can you rent a car in Syros?
Yes, and rental desks cluster right in Ermoupoli, a short walk from where the ferry docks. Syros Town itself is easily walkable, but a car earns its keep for reaching Kini, Galissas and Poseidonia beaches, each 8-10km away on the other side of the island. Compare prices across local suppliers at Discover Cars.

Tips for the Syros to Gavrio, Andros 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.
- The period immediately after the 15th August peak sees a rapid fall in demand; last-minute seats become available again from around the 20th.
- Some operators offer promotional fares in spring and autumn to fill sailings – worth checking their websites directly if you are travelling outside peak season.
