About the Rafina – Andros crossing
The Rafina to Andros ferry is the opening leg of Fast Ferries' eastern Cyclades line, linking the Attica mainland with the green, mountainous island of Andros. As the first and northernmost stop on the route, Andros is the quickest Cycladic island to reach from Athens, which makes this crossing a favourite with hikers, weekenders and travellers looking to escape the crowds of the busier islands further south.
Rafina to Andros Ferry Crossing Details
The journey from Rafina to Andros takes about 2 hours. Rafina is Athens' second port on the Attica coast and sits noticeably closer to Athens International Airport than Piraeus, so many visitors travel straight from the airport to the harbour and step aboard within the hour.
There are typically two daily sailings on this route, with departures at 07:30 and 17:30. The morning service is ideal if you want a full day on the island, while the evening crossing suits later arrivals into Athens. Fast Ferries operates the line using the vessels Fast Ferries Andros and Theologos P, both conventional car ferries that carry vehicles as well as foot passengers.
Fast Ferries is the operator serving this route. For current prices and to book, check directly with the operator, as fares vary by season and vehicle type. After arriving on Andros, a natural onward journey is the Andros to Mykonos ferry, which continues along the same line via Tinos.
