Useful Tips for Travelers
- Departure Port in Serifos: Ferries depart from Livadi Port, the main harbor village located on the southeastern bay of Serifos.
- Arrival Port in Andros: Ships dock at Gavrio Port, situated on the northwestern coast of Andros. Local KTEL buses and taxis meet incoming ferries to transport passengers toward Batsi, Chora, or Ormos Korthiou.
- Connecting via Syros Hub: Because Serifos (Western Cyclades) and Andros (Northern Cyclades) belong to different ferry chains, direct departures run only once a week. If you need to travel on a different day, taking a short ferry from Serifos to Syros and transferring to a daily ferry from Syros to Andros is the most reliable alternative.
