Finding your way to Gavdos ferry port
The Gavdos Ferry Terminal is at Karave, the island’s small Port on the northeast coast. Gavdos has no airport and no real city center, so most accommodation areas (Agios Ioannis, Sarakiniko, Kastri) are a short taxi or pre-arranged transfer away. Many guesthouses offer pick-up from the Port; otherwise, walking is possible but can be hot and hilly, so plan ahead.
To reach Gavdos, you’ll first travel to the Sfakia Ferry Terminal (Chora Sfakion) on Crete’s south coast, about 70–80 km from Chania and its airport, accessible by car, taxi, or KTEL buses from Chania and Rethymno.
