Itinerary
- Day 1
Athens to Andros
You'll get picked up from Athens airport and head to Rafina port for the ferry to Andros Island. The crossing takes around 2 hours, and once you arrive at Gavrio Port, there's a public bus that'll take you to Chora in about an hour. If your flight lands after 2:30 PM, it might make sense to stay an extra night in Athens or Rafina before heading to the island rather than rushing the journey.
Included Activities
- Airport transfer to Rafina
- Ferry to Andros
Optional Activities
- Public bus from Gavrio Port to Chora (approximately 1 hour)
