Antikythira is a small rocky island (22 sq km) and the most remote of the Ionian Islands. The island lies about 22 nautical miles south of Kythera and 18 miles north of Crete. Antikythira has a very long history and the numerous archaeological discoveries support this. There are frequent crossings to the Ionian Islands, Crete and mainland Greece, all of which can be booked through AFerry.co.uk
With a population of 44 on the whole island, it is little surprise that there are no real facilities at the port.
The main settlement on the island is Potamos, which is also the port. So unless you have gone to one of the other two villages (populations of 17 and 9 people respectively), you should be within walking distance of the port. If not, your best bet is to ask really nicely.
With a population of 44, Antikythira is a primitive place and the place for you if you are weary of modern comforts. Places of interest are the temple of Apollon in Xeropotamos, the two hundred year old watermill in Potamos and the Apolytaras Lighthouse, built in 1926,on the southernmost cape of Antikythera. Beaches where you can enjoy swimming can be found near Xeropotamos and Halara.
