Getting from Amorgos to Anafi
If you are heading to Anafi from Amorgos you are making your way from the most eastern of the Cyclades to one of the most remote islands in the group, a short hop to the southwest. It has a monolithic rock rising 460 metres from the sea and almost no tourist infrastructure.
Take the ferry
There is a seasonal direct ferry from Amorgos to Anafi running in summer on the wider Cyclades route. The service runs a limited number of times per week and takes around 3 to 5 hours depending on the vessel and stops. Alternatively, take the ferry from Amorgos to Santorini and then the short ferry from Santorini to Anafi, which takes around 1 hour 15 minutes and runs several times a week in summer.
Getting there by air
Anafi has no airport. The nearest airport is Santorini. Amorgos has no airport either. Taking the ferry from Amorgos to Santorini and then the short ferry to Anafi is considerably more practical than flying for this Cyclades connection. In Greece, airlines do not operate direct inter island flights.
Your best option
Take the direct seasonal ferry from Amorgos to Anafi when the schedule works for your dates. If the timing does not align, take the ferry from Amorgos to Santorini and cross to Anafi from there. Come with everything you need as the island has almost no facilities and that is entirely the point of going.
