About the Anafi – Santorini crossing
Blue Star Ferries and Maistros currently schedule four weekly sailings connecting the Cyclades islands of Anafi and Santorini. Departures are timetabled for Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. The crossing time ranges from 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes. Single passenger fares start from €7.
Timetable and Departures
The first sailing of the day leaves the port of Anafi at 01:25, with the final departure scheduled for 17:35. This spread of departure times provides both an early morning and a late afternoon option for the crossing. Blue Star Ferries operates the vessel Blue Star on this route, while Maistros uses the Santorini.
The route connects Anafi to the main port of Athinios on Santorini. From Athinios, passengers can find onward domestic ferry connections to other Greek islands, including Heraklion in Crete, Milos, Rhodes, and Syros. Given the limited number of weekly sailings, booking in advance is a practical step, especially during peak travel periods.
Your destination
About Santorini
Arriving at Santorini by ferry is mostly a question of what happens after you land. Every boat uses Athinios, a port cut into the cliff with nothing around it — Fira is 7.5 km up the switchbacks, Oia is 20 km, there is no direct bus to Oia at all, and the island licenses only about thirty taxis. Plan the transfer before you plan the crossing.
