How much does the Anafi - Piraeus ferry ticket cost?

The lowest available fare for one adult passenger starts from €45.50. In other fare categories, prices can reach €82 before adding a cabin or upgrading to another type of seat.

For two adults, the basic fare starts from €91 in total. The final ticket price depends on the seat category, vessel, travel date and availability.

For cars, available fares on the route start from €41, while recorded average vehicle prices can exceed €90. The difference depends on the type and length of the vehicle and on the fare available for the specific crossing.

When a booking includes two adults and one car, total prices have been recorded from €184.50.

The fare shown at the time of the search should be used as the final reference when booking, as cabin and garage availability changes from one departure to another.

How long does the ferry trip take?

Current Anafi - Piraeus crossings take between 8 hours and 10 hours. The recorded average journey time is 8 hours and 51 minutes.

This is not a short ferry connection within the Cyclades. The vessels serve several ports along the route, so the total travel time is affected by the number and duration of intermediate stops.

Different journey times may appear during other periods. For this reason, the exact crossing available on your travel date is more useful than relying on one general duration.

How many ferry crossings operate each week?

The connection operates throughout the year, but its frequency is not fixed.

During the summer period, there are 3-4 weekly departures, although availability may vary from week to week. Outside the busiest travel period, the number of crossings decreases and can be limited to one or two days per week.

This is important when travelling from Anafi, as the island does not have the same frequency of ferry connections as larger Cycladic islands.

If your ferry trip is connected with a flight, work commitment or a specific arrival date in Athens, check the available ferry departures first and organise the rest of your journey afterwards.

Which ferry company operates the route?

The route is served by Blue Star Ferries. Conventional passenger and vehicle ferries operate the crossing, carrying both passengers and vehicles.

Vessels that appear on available services for this route include:

• BLUE STAR CHIOS
• BLUE STAR 1
• BLUE STAR DELOS
• DIAGORAS

The vessel operating the route can change depending on the date and travel period, so it should always be checked during the booking process.

BLUE STAR CHIOS, for example, provides cabins, numbered seats, a café-bar, self-service restaurant, Wi-Fi, lifts, pet areas and facilities for passengers with reduced mobility.

Which is the fastest ferry?

On the most recently available crossings, BLUE STAR CHIOS appears as the fastest option on the Anafi - Piraeus route, with a journey time of 8 hours.

There is no fixed high-speed ferry operating a daily Anafi - Piraeus connection. The main service is provided by conventional vessels.

Travellers who want to reduce their time at sea should compare the individual departures available on their chosen date rather than selecting a ferry only by company.

Are there direct ferry services?

You can book a single Anafi - Piraeus ticket without changing vessels.

The ferry may, however, make several intermediate port calls. One available route, for example, follows:

Anafi - Santorini - Naxos - Paros - Piraeus.

The number of stops can change. Current route data shows between 1 and 4 intermediate port calls.

Passengers do not need to change ferries at these ports. You remain on the same vessel until reaching your final destination.

Which port does the ferry depart from in Anafi?

Ferries leave from the main port of Anafi at Agios Nikolaos, on the southern side of the island.

Chora is located higher above the port, so transport should be arranged in advance, particularly when the ferry departs during the early morning.

Current departures include times between 02:00 and 05:10. This means travellers should arrange their transport to the port from the previous evening.

If you are travelling with a car, it is advisable to arrive at the port at least 60 minutes before departure to allow enough time for ticket checks and vehicle boarding.

Where does the ferry arrive in Piraeus?

The ferry arrives at the port of Piraeus. The exact arrival gate can change depending on the vessel and the operational requirements of the port.

If you are continuing towards central Athens, connections are available by metro, electric railway, suburban railway, bus and taxi.

Do not plan your next connection using only the scheduled docking time. Allow additional time for disembarkation, leaving the ferry and moving away from the arrival gate, especially when travelling with a car.

Can I travel with a car?

Yes. Cars and motorcycles can be transported on the Anafi - Piraeus ferry route.

BLUE STAR 1, BLUE STAR CHIOS, BLUE STAR DELOS and DIAGORAS have vehicle garages and appear among the vessels carrying vehicles on this connection.

Car fares start from €41, with the final price depending on the dimensions and category of the vehicle.

Garage availability is separate from passenger ticket availability. Passenger seats may therefore still be available even when all vehicle spaces have already been booked.

During periods of high demand, booking the vehicle space early is more important than waiting for a last-minute ticket.

Are cabins available?

Yes. The conventional vessels operated by Blue Star Ferries on this route offer cabin accommodation. Cabin bookings are available on BLUE STAR CHIOS, BLUE STAR 1, BLUE STAR DELOS and DIAGORAS.

Numbered aircraft-style seats and economy seating areas are also available.

A cabin can be particularly useful on this route. Departures from Anafi often take place during the night or early in the morning, while the crossing itself lasts several hours.

Selected vessels also have dedicated PET cabins and separate areas for travelling with pets.

What facilities are available on board?

Facilities depend on the vessel operating the crossing.

On the larger vessels of Blue Star Ferries, passengers can find:

• cabins
• numbered seats
• café and bar
• restaurant or self-service dining
• Wi-Fi
• open decks
• pet areas
• facilities for passengers with reduced mobility

BLUE STAR CHIOS also provides lifts, accessible cabins, pet cabins and 252 beds.

Passenger discounts

The offer can apply to:

• 4 adults
• 3 adults and 1 child

All passengers must be included in the same booking and stay in the same four-berth cabin.

Before completing your purchase on booktickets.gr, check whether a standard discounted fare or another available offer provides the lowest final price.

Return route Piraeus - Anafi

The reverse Piraeus - Anafi ferry route is also served by Blue Star Ferries.

Passenger fares start from €45.50. The connection operates throughout the year, with more options available during periods of higher demand.

The ferry company's destination information lists a journey time of 8 hours and 5 minutes for a selected Piraeus - Anafi crossing.

If you already know your return date, it is better to check both parts of the journey together, especially when you need a cabin or vehicle space.

Alternative routes

The main alternative when there is no suitable direct sailing to Piraeus is to travel via Santorini.

Anafi has ferry connections with Santorini, where more services towards Piraeus are available. Anafi - Santorini ferry tickets start from €7.

If you book two separate ferry tickets, leave enough time between the two crossings. The second ferry company is not required to wait if the first part of your journey is delayed.

Useful travel tips

Several departures from Anafi take place during the night. Check the exact departure time before leaving Chora and make sure transport to the port has already been arranged.

If you are travelling with a vehicle, reserve the garage space together with your passenger ticket.

For a journey lasting 8-10 hours, there is a noticeable difference between economy seating, a numbered seat and a cabin. If you want to sleep during the crossing, check cabin availability first.

Do not book a flight from Athens too close to the scheduled ferry arrival time. Weather conditions and intermediate port calls can affect the actual arrival time.

Check the crossing details again before travelling to the port. On an island with only a few weekly ferry connections, even a change in departure time can have a significant effect on the rest of your journey.
