Piraeus–Anafi is a long route from Athens to one of the most remote islands in the Cyclades. Blue Star Ferries currently lists up to two routes each week and a journey of about 8 hours 5 minutes. Departures are shown from Piraeus Gate E1, while the dated booking result remains the authority for the exact sailing, vessel and intermediate calls.
The route is normally served by a conventional passenger-and-vehicle ferry, so both cars and foot passengers can be accommodated when vehicle space is offered. With a crossing of around eight hours, cabins and reserved seating are worth comparing. Some services continue beyond Anafi toward Crete and the southern Dodecanese, which can influence departure times and calling patterns.
Anafi’s ferry quay is at Agios Nikolaos below the main settlement of Chora. Blue Star currently lists onward connections from Anafi to Heraklion, Karpathos, Kasos and Santorini. The island is small but steep, so confirm how you will travel from the port to your accommodation and leave adequate time if connecting to another ferry.
For Piraeus to Anafi, the advertised crossing time is only one part of the journey. Allow for port access, check-in, boarding and disembarkation when deciding which departure best fits the day.
Look beyond the headline fare when comparing Piraeus to Anafi. Departure time, ticket flexibility and the transfer after arrival can make a different sailing more convenient overall.
