Agathonisi to Lipsi Route Map
Agathonisi to Lipsi is a small-island hop taking about thirty-five minutes on the Dodekanisos Express, or up to two and a half hours on the slower SAOS boat that calls at Arki and Patmos on the way. Both operators run it as part of the local circuit through the islets north of Leros, and the difference in duration comes down entirely to routing rather than the sea.
Lipsi's port sits in the middle of the main village, so ferries dock in the heart of town and everything is within a short walk. It is a quiet, village-like island popular with Greek and Italian summer visitors, geared to swimming, beach-hopping to spots like Platys Gialos, and unhurried meals rather than sightseeing. The church of Agios Ioannis Theologos, home to the Panagia tou Harou icon, is the main point of interest in the village.
Sailings run around once a day across a fortnight, split between the fast craft and the local boat. The current timetable and fares are listed in the table below, with tickets from around €5.50. Lipsi has good onward links to Patmos, Leros and Kalymnos, which makes it an easy place to slot into a Dodecanese island-hopping route.
