About the Andros – Rafina crossing
The Andros to Rafina ferry route is the return leg of Fast Ferries' eastern Cyclades line, carrying travellers from the green island of Andros back to the Attica mainland. Rafina is Athens' second port, sitting close to Athens International Airport, which makes this crossing a firm favourite for visitors heading home at the end of a holiday or connecting onwards to another flight or island. As one of the northernmost of the Cyclades, Andros is often the last island travellers leave before returning to the mainland.
Andros to Rafina Ferry Crossing Details
The journey from Andros to Rafina takes around 115 minutes, roughly two hours across the open Aegean. Andros is the northernmost of the eastern Cyclades, so this is the first mainland-bound hop on the line and one of the shorter crossings back toward Attica, which keeps sea time comfortably brief.
There is a daily departure at 10:15, with an additional sailing on weekdays (Monday to Friday) at 15:50. The operator on this route is Fast Ferries, using the vessels Theologos P. and Fast Ferries Andros. Timetables can shift with the season and demand, so it is always worth confirming the current schedule before you travel and arriving at the port in good time.
Because Rafina is far closer to the airport than Piraeus, many travellers use this crossing as a smooth link to their flight without crossing the whole of Athens. A popular onward journey is the Rafina to Mykonos ferry for those doubling back into the islands, and you can plan your full trip through our Greece ferries hub. Check operators for current prices and availability before booking.
