Andros - Lavrio: Ferry tickets and schedules
The ferry connection from Andros to Lavrio offers an alternative way to return to mainland Greece, particularly for travellers heading to eastern Attica rather than Rafina.
The ferry departs from Gavrio, the main passenger port of Andros, and arrives at Lavrio after calling at four other Cycladic islands. This is an inter-island ferry service with intermediate stops rather than a direct crossing.
The route is operated by the Artemis ferry of Hellenic Seaways. Departures are limited, making it important to check availability for your intended travel date.
