The Rafina to Andros ferry is one of the most convenient crossings in the northern Cyclades. Rafina sits just 30 kilometres east of Athens, making it a practical alternative to Piraeus for travellers heading to Andros — and with a crossing time of just over an hour, you’ll be stepping ashore on the island before you know it. Our Rafina port guide covers getting there from central Athens and the airport, while the Andros ferry port guide has the details on arriving at Gavrio.
Sailings run daily throughout the year, though you’ll notice a marked difference in frequency depending on the season. On average, there are 7 ferries per day across the year. Come summer (June–August), that figure climbs to 8 per day, giving you real flexibility when planning your trip. In winter, expect around 2 departures daily.
