Agathonissi to Arki Route Map
Agathonissi to Arki is one of the shortest crossings in the Dodecanese, taking between half an hour and a little over an hour depending on the boat. Dodekanisos Seaways runs it with the Dodekanisos Pride and SAOS Ferries with the Saonisos, both threading the cluster of small islands north of Patmos. It is a genuine local service, used as much by residents as by visitors.
Arki is a tiny island with a very small resident population and a harbour that amounts to a handful of tavernas and rooms around the quay. There is no bank, no real town and very little in the way of organised activity, which is precisely why people come. Anyone stopping should arrange a room in advance and expect to be self-sufficient.
The route runs most days across a fortnight, though timings shift with the wider schedule of the small-island circuit and the weather. Current departures and fares are listed below, starting around €16. Patmos and Leros are the usual bases for reaching either island, and most itineraries take in Arki, Agathonissi and Lipsi together.
