Getting from Antikythera to Evia

If you are heading to Evia from Antikythera you are making your way from one of the most remote islands in Greece to the second largest island in the country, connected to the mainland by road bridges and within easy reach of Athens.

Take the ferry

There is no direct ferry from Antikythera to Evia. Antikythera's ferry connections are limited to Kythira, Piraeus, Kissamos in Crete and occasional ports on the southern Peloponnese. Getting to Evia means taking the ferry from Antikythera to Kythira, flying to Athens and then either crossing the bridge at Halkida, around 90 kilometres from central Athens, or taking one of the short mainland to Evia ferry connections such as Rafina to Marmari, which takes around 1 hour, or Arkitsa to Loutra Edipsou in the north, which takes around 30 minutes.

Getting there by air

Evia has no commercial airport. The nearest airport is Athens. Antikythera has no airport, only a helipad. Taking the ferry from Antikythera to Kythira, flying to Athens and then traveling to Evia by road or short ferry gives a total journey time of around 5 to 6 hours depending on which part of the island you are heading to. In Greece, airlines do not operate direct inter island flights.

Your best option

Take the ferry from Antikythera to Kythira, fly to Athens and drive or take the bus across the bridge to Halkida. If you are heading to the southern coast, the ferry from Rafina to Marmari is a convenient connection close to Athens Airport. If you are traveling with a car, take the overnight ferry from Antikythera to Piraeus and drive to whichever part of Evia suits your plans.
