Antikythira Ferry Port Overview

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.

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.

Antikythira became known worldwide in 1900 when an ancient shipwreck was discovered off the coast of Antikythira and from which was recovered the statue of Youth (Ephivos) of Antikythera and the Antikythera Mechanism or "Astrolavos " (the first known computer in world history).

The capital and the ferry port of the island is Potamos. The island is connected by ferry with Gytheion (crossing time 5 hours), Kythera (crossing time 2 hours), Neapoli (crossing time 4.5 hours) and Kissamos, Crete (crossing time 2 hours). These services are currently unavailable on AFerry.co.uk, but will be available again very soon.
