Andros island in Greece

As it's only a couple of hours from Athens to Andros by ferry, the Greek island of Andros is a popular summer and weekend destination for Athenians.

Even so, it's still managed to keep its unspoiled charm and fly underneath the radar of visitors from other countries seeking the beauty of the Cyclades islands.

In addition to a certain chic and sophistication in some of the towns architecture, Andros has lots of lovely places to visit.

Just take a look at Old Lady's Jump Beach below. I'm sure in any other country, that would be on the marketing material as a main attraction!

Andros Island in Greece

I think that Andros really is one of the underrated destinations in Greece. I've also co-written a guide book about the island which you can find on Amazon here: Andros and Tinos in Greece.

Anyhow, enough of the introduction. Let's look at how to travel to Andros from Mykonos.

Mykonos Andros Ferry Route

There's no airport on Andros island, so the only way to get from Mykonos to Andros is by the ferry services.

Ferries depart Mykonos at the New Port. You can reach the port from your hotel in Mykonos by either public transport or taxi.

Welcome Taxis offer a pre-booked taxi service. Take a look here: Welcome Mykonos Taxis.

During the height of the tourist season, there are commonly six to eight ferries per day from Mykonos to Andros. These ferries to Andros from Mykonos are operated by Fast Ferries, SeaJets, and Golden Star Ferries.

I find that Ferryscanner is a good website to use to look at timetables and to book ferry tickets online. You could also use a local travel agency in Mykonos if you choose, however if you are traveling in the busy summer months, don't leave it until the last minute.

Ferries to Andros from Mykonos

The fastest connection from Mykonos going to Andros takes around 2 hours and 25 minutes, with the slow ferry sailing to Andros from Mykonos island taking only slightly less time at around 2 hours and 35 minutes.

The ferries may also stop at Tinos island along the way, but on the direct ferries you don't have to leave the boat. The stop is usually no more than 15 minutes.

Ferries to Andros then arrive at Gavrio Port. Gavrio, along with Batsi, is one of the more popular areas to stay in Andros.

Ferry Operators and Ticket Prices

The best price for the Mykonos to Andros ferry ride is 21.00 for passengers on a conventional ferry. Faster boats cost more, so what you pay depends on which crossing you choose.

Cars of course cost more, although if you've hired a car, you should check with your rental firm that you are allowed to move them between the Cyclades islands.

Golden Star and Fast Ferries operate this route all through the year, although as you might expect, there are more services per week in the high season than in winter.

Use Ferryscanner to plan your island hopping route Mykonos to Andros, and to check the trip duration on the day you want to travel.

Andros Island Travel Tips

A few travel tips for visiting Andros island:
  • For hotels in Andros, I suggest using Booking. They have a great range of places to stay in Andros along with customer ratings. If you are traveling to Andros in the tourist season, I advise reserving accommodation in Andros a month or so in advance. I've got another article specifically about the best hotels in Andros, Greece.

  • One of the best places to look at ferry schedules and to book Andros ferry tickets online is at Ferryscanner. I think it's better that you book your Mykonos to Andros ferry tickets in advance, especially during the peak months of summer.
