Ferry from Agia Marina (Leros) to Kos

Agia Marina is Leros's main harbour, a low-key waterfront a short walk from the island's shops and tavernas rather than a satellite port you need a taxi to reach. Boats leave from the quay in the centre of things, so there is little logistics to plan around beyond turning up with your ticket. Dodekanisos Seaways runs the route with its high-speed catamarans, which is why this crossing is measured in minutes rather than hours -- one of the quicker inter-island hops in the Dodecanese rather than a long open-sea passage.

The route runs right through the year rather than only in summer, with occasional sailings from Agia Marina, mostly in summer (most Leros to Kos ferries use Lakki, the island’s main port). Check the schedule box above and the month-by-month table below for the current confirmed timetable, since operators file each season in stages and add further sailings as the year goes on. Kos, at the other end, is a much bigger and busier island, so arriving there from the relative quiet of Agia Marina can feel like a change of pace -- this crossing suits anyone island-hopping through the Dodecanese who wants a fast, reliable link between a quieter base on Leros and everything Kos has to offer.

Hiring a car

Can you rent a car in Kos?

Yes. The ferry port sits right in Kos Town, about 2km from the centre, a 20-25 minute walk or five-minute drive, with rental desks nearby. Buses run regularly between the main towns but thin out fast once you leave them, so a car is worth it if you want to reach the Asclepion, Mount Dikeos villages or the quieter beaches.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tips for the Agia Marina to Kos ferry

• Gangways on older vessels can be steep and narrow – wheeled suitcases are harder to manage than backpacks on these boarding ramps.
• Many short island ferries operate on a strict schedule with no tolerance for late arrivals; being even a minute or two late can mean missing your sailing.
• In Kos, ancient history and beach life sit side by side – the Tree of Hippocrates in Kos Town is said to be the very spot where the father of medicine taught, while the nearby Asklepion was one of antiquity's most important healing sanctuaries. The island's long sandy beaches and flat terrain, ideal for cycling, make it one of the most accessible of the Dodecanese.
