Tips for itineraries and ticket reservations to Kythira
Whether you are traveling by ferry or by air, proper organization is the “key” to a comfortable and carefree trip to Kythira. Below we have compiled some useful general tips that you should know before you set off.
✔ Book your tickets in advance. During the summer months (June–August), ferry itineraries to Kythira, especially with vehicle transfer, fill up quickly. Book as early as possible, especially if you are traveling by car, motorbike, or during holidays.
✔ Confirm the itineraries before departure. Ferry and airline itineraries may be modified due to weather conditions or changes in schedules. Contact the company 1-2 days before your trip to confirm your departure time.
✔ If you are traveling by road to Kythira via the port of Neapolis or Gythio, it is important to book your tickets early, as ferry seats can fill up, especially during the high tourist season. Calculate the distance from your destination city, and arrive at the port at least 30-45 minutes before departure, to complete the boarding process comfortably.
✔ Keep copies of your reservations. Always have a printed or digital copy of your tickets on your mobile or email, especially if you have made an online reservation, so that you do not have unnecessary delays at the port.
✔ Pay attention to arrival times. The port of Diakofti and the airport are far from the central villages, so plan your transportation (taxi, rental, public transportation) in advance so that you don’t get delayed or left without a means of transportation. The same applies to your departure from the port of Piraeus.
✔ Check the cancellation/change policy. Carefully read the policy of each transport company regarding cancellations, delays or ticket changes. It is good to know what you are entitled to in case of a trip postponement.
✔ Don’t leave last-minute reservations. Although you may find available tickets at the last minute, it is a risk, especially for weekends, holidays and peak season. Locals know that you don’t go to Kythira without a plan!
✔ With a little organization, your trip to Kythira will start and end in the best way. Make your reservations early, check the itineraries and enjoy one of the most special islands in Greece.
