Agathonissi to Pythagorio Route Map
Agathonissi to Pythagorio is a short northward hop across to Samos, taking around thirty-five minutes on the Dodekanisos Pride and a little over an hour on the SAOS boat Saonisos. It is one of the few links between the northern Dodecanese and the Northeast Aegean islands, and a useful way of joining the two groups without backtracking to Kos or Rhodes.
Pythagorio sits on the south coast of Samos, a small harbour town named after the island's most famous son. It is more relaxed than Vathy, the island's main port, with a yacht and fishing harbour overlooked by Logothetis Castle. The ancient Heraion and the Eupalinos tunnel, a UNESCO-listed aqueduct bored through a hillside in the sixth century BC, are both within easy reach.
Sailings run roughly every other day across a fortnight in season, and the service thins outside it. The current timetable and fares are shown in the table below, with tickets from around €16. Bear in mind that ferry connections from Pythagorio are more limited than from Vathy, so plan any onward leg from Samos carefully.

Tips for the Agathonissi to Pythagorio ferry
- Onboard food prices are higher than onshore – if you are on a budget, bring sandwiches, fruit, and water from a supermarket before you board.
- A short crossing gives you a very limited window to buy food on board; eat before you board or bring your own snacks.
- Short crossings can feel longer if the vessel is hot and crowded; arriving early to board means you can choose a good spot rather than being squeezed in.
- If one leg of your journey is critical – for example a return to Athens before a flight – book that leg first and plan the rest of the trip around it.
- Smoking is not permitted inside ferry terminals or on board vessels in enclosed areas; designated smoking areas are usually at the stern on open deck.
