Enter your ports, date and passengers to see live sailings and fares.
Anafi is a small, remote island just east of Santorini, with a white Chora on a hill, a dozen sandy beaches along the south coast and the huge rock of Kalamos, crowned by a monastery. It is one of the quietest islands in Greece.
Blue Star sails from Piraeus via Santorini a few times a week (about 7 h 45 m, from €59). In summer Seajets links Anafi with Santorini in 45 minutes (from €58.70) and with Naxos.
The only village, 2 km above the port, with rooms and tavernas.
Klisidi, near the port, has a sandy beach and rooms.
Anafi is the end of the line: Blue Star calls a few times a week from Piraeus via Santorini, and Seajets adds summer boats from Santorini and Naxos. Check your dates before booking rooms.

Summer 2027 Seajets fares.
Ferries arrive at Agios Nikolaos, a tiny port on the south coast; a bus climbs to the Chora.
Blue Star shows your gate when you check in (online or at the port). Seajets usually leaves from gate E9 or E7 and sends you an SMS with the gate. Some sailings use E1 or E2, at the other end of the port, so always check and allow extra time.
At least an hour before departure with a vehicle, and 30–45 minutes on foot. The metro and the suburban train stop right by the Cyclades gates.
Leave at least 4 hours between your flight’s landing and the ferry’s departure. Choosing an Athens port.
The island bus meets the ferries; there are hardly any taxis.
A summer bus and boat trips; many beaches are reached on foot.
A path along the south coast leads past the beaches to Kalamos and the monastery.
Fly to Santorini and continue by ferry.
Taking a camper, motorhome, van or your boat on a trailer to Anafi? Big vehicles need a little more planning on Greek ferries. Here is what to know, for holidays and for business.
Give the exact length and height of your camper, van or car with caravan, including bike racks, roof boxes and tow bars. The ferry fare and deck space depend on them, and a vehicle bigger than booked may be refused or charged extra at the port.
Vehicles running on LPG or other gas, and hybrid or electric vehicles, must be declared when you book. Gas tanks may be filled to no more than 50% and EV batteries charged to no more than 40%. Make sure gas bottles are turned off before boarding.
Be at the port at least 1 hour before departure. Large vehicles are loaded in the order set by the port authority, so arriving early helps. Book well ahead in July and August: garage space for big vehicles runs out first.
Only the driver stays with the vehicle to drive it on and off; everyone else boards on foot. Nobody may stay in the vehicle during the crossing, so take what you need for the trip with you.
Taking your own boat? We also book ferry tickets for a car towing a boat trailer. Give the total length of car, trailer and boat together, and the height of the boat on the trailer, including any mast, frame or outboard engine.
Vans carrying goods, tools or equipment for work may be booked as commercial vehicles, with a different fare and different paperwork from a private car. Tell us what the vehicle carries and its weight.
Several vehicles and drivers on the same sailing, or regular crossings for a project? We book them together so your team travels on the same ship.
Length, height and weight decide the category. Include racks, ladders and trailers, and tell us if anything is loaded on the roof.
Commercial vehicles may need to be at the port earlier than cars. We confirm the exact check-in time and gate for your sailing.
Travelling for work? We issue an invoice in your company’s name. Send us the company name, address and VAT number with your quote request.
