Tips for the Santorini–Anafi Ferry
- If your sailing is cancelled, the operator’s website and app will carry the announcement, as will the Hellenic Coast Guard (limenarxeio) at your departure port — check both before heading to the harbour.
- Greek maritime forecasts use the Beaufort scale, so it is worth knowing what each force number means in practical terms before you travel; it will help you judge whether a rough-weather cancellation is likely.
- Once you arrive in Anafi, you can explore the amphitheatrically built Chora, which sits on the ruins of an ancient settlement. A highlight is the hike to the Monastery of Panagia Kalamiotissa, perched on the eastern side of the island with sweeping Aegean views.
