Tips for the Piraeus–Anafi Ferry
- If you’re travelling as a family or small group, four-berth cabins are worth serious consideration – split between you, the cost often works out comparable to a budget hotel room, and you’ll arrive rested.
- Keep an eye on the operator’s website and app for any cancellation notices; the Hellenic Coast Guard (limenarxeio) at your departure port will also post updates if a sailing is called off.
- All passengers on domestic Greek ferry routes are required to carry a passport or national identity card – keep yours in your day bag where it’s easy to hand, not buried deep in your hold luggage.
- Once you reach Anafi, the amphitheatrically built Chora rewards exploration – it sits on the ruins of an ancient settlement. The hike to the Monastery of Panagia Kalamiotissa on the island’s eastern side is a highlight, offering sweeping views across the Aegean.
