Karpathos to Santorini Ferry

The port of Karpathos, known as Pigadia port, is the largest port on the island. It is situated northeast of Pigadia. Surrounded by large rocky hills, it lies within walking distance of the town centre and offers great views of Pigadia’s picturesque houses. Visitors can find some cafes and traditional taverns along the seaside promenade serving local delicacies.

Located between Rhodes and Crete, Karpathos is one of the remotest islands in the Dodecanese. High mountains, pristine landscapes, fragrant pine groves, traditional villages, turquoise waters, and rich history make this island an ideal holiday destination. The long-standing customs and traditions have influenced the daily lives of the residents and are also incorporated into their festivals, which tourists are welcome to join.

Athinios Port, located on the island of Santorini, Greece, serves as the island’s main ferry terminal. Nestled at the base of dramatic cliffs, this bustling port is a hub for passenger ferries connecting Santorini to other Cycladic islands, mainland Greece, and Crete. Its facilities include ticket offices, car rentals, cafes, and small shops catering to travellers. The port is renowned for its stunning views of the caldera and the Aegean Sea, though its compact size often leads to heavy congestion during peak tourist seasons. Access to the port is via a winding, steep road, adding to its unique charm.
