Agathonisi to Kalymnos Route Map
Agathonisi to Kalymnos runs south through the small islands of the northern Dodecanese. On the Dodekanisos Seaways catamarans it takes a little under two hours, while the SAOS boat Saonisos, which calls at more of the little ports on the way, can take five and a half. The fast craft is the practical choice if you are connecting onward the same day.
Ferries arrive at Pothia, Kalymnos's capital and main port on the south coast, a busy working town built up the slopes around the harbour. The sponge-diving trade that made the island's name is still visible in the shops and workshops near the waterfront. Kalymnos is rugged and traditional compared with neighbouring Kos, and is best known internationally as a rock-climbing destination, with quieter beaches on the west coast.
Sailings run somewhere around once a day across a fortnight, spread unevenly between the two operators, so it is worth checking your specific date rather than assuming a daily boat. The current timetable and fares are shown below, starting around €10. From Pothia there are frequent onward connections to Kos, and from there to Rhodes and the wider Dodecanese.

Tips for the Agathonisi to Kalymnos ferry
- Shower facilities are available in some cabin classes and in communal bathrooms on large overnight ferries – useful after a very long crossing.
- In summer, the heat on docksides can be intense, especially during midday departures – a hat and water are essential while waiting to board.
- Winter storms can cause multi-day cancellations on exposed Aegean routes; if you have a fixed flight home, build in a full day's contingency.
- July and August are the busiest months on almost every Greek ferry route; expect crowded vessels, longer boarding queues, and higher prices.
- In Kalymnos, world-class rock climbing routes in the island's limestone cliffs have made it a magnet for climbers from across Europe, while the sheltered pebbly beach of Vlychadia and other coastal spots offer superb swimming. The island also has a deep tradition as a sponge-diving centre, which still shapes its culture today.
