Municipality of Elafonisos ferry timetable for November 2026, every day from 1 to 30 November
Confirm with the port authority The municipal timetable says sailings must be confirmed with the port authority, on +30 27340 22228. Elafonisos Ferries answers on +30 27340 61122 and Katonisi Elafonisou on +30 27340 61061.
How the two companies split November Elafonisos Ferries' own November sheet gives its morning departures (07:30 to 12:40 from the island, 07:50 to 13:00 from Pounta) on even dates and its afternoon ones (13:10 to 18:40 and 13:30 to 19:00) on odd dates. The municipal table, used for this board, lists every sailing as daily.
Sea taxi The municipality also lists a caique and sea taxi, Zoumpoulaki, for confirmed or extra trips on +30 6976 827 296 or +30 6944 786 795. It is a separate service and is not on this board.
Map – Pounta – Elafonisos ferry
| Ticket type | Price |
|---|---|
| Passenger, per crossing (either direction) | €2 |
Both ferry companies charge €2 per person for each crossing, in either direction. There is no booking: tickets are bought before boarding, and vehicles and people board in the order they arrive at the ramp. A car costs €13 with Elafonisos Ferries; Katonisi lists €13 from Pounta and €12.50 from the island, and neither says whether the driver also pays the €2, so car prices are not shown in the table. All fares in euros (EUR).
The car ferries to Elafonisos leave from Pounta, on the Laconian mainland, and land at the ramp beside Elafonisos village. Two companies work the crossing: the Elafonisos Ferries consortium, with the ferries Elafonisos, Kato Nisi, Marilena and Stavros Eleni, and Katonisi Elafonisou with the Panagia Kimisis II. The Municipality of Elafonisos puts both into one timetable and gives the crossing time as nine minutes.
That timetable is published month by month. For November 2026 it lists twelve departures each way, every day from the 1st to the 30th. The first boat leaves the island at 07:30 and the first from Pounta at 07:50; the last are 18:40 from Elafonisos and 19:00 from Pounta. The municipal page adds that times must be confirmed with the port authority, on +30 27340 22228. Elafonisos Ferries' own November sheet covers only its boats, which take the morning sailings on even dates and the afternoon ones on odd dates; together, the two halves match the municipal list.
Each passenger pays €2 per crossing, and both companies give the same figure for either direction. Neither takes reservations. You buy the ticket before boarding, and vehicles load in the order they reach the ramp. Car prices differ slightly between the two companies: €13 with Elafonisos Ferries, and €13 from Pounta or €12.50 from the island with Katonisi. Neither price list states whether the driver pays a passenger fare on top, so that is a question for the ticket seller at the ramp.
For a confirmed time on a windy day, or for a trip outside the timetable, the municipality lists the port authority, the two ferry companies (+30 27340 61122 and +30 27340 61061) and a caique and sea taxi called Zoumpoulaki, which runs on request.
- Be at the port in good time; some operators ask passengers to arrive 30 to 60 minutes before departure and close online sales earlier.
- Check the operator's notices on the day — strong winds, including the summer meltemi, can delay or cancel sailings.
- Check what the ticket price includes; some totals add port charges and VAT.
