Agia Marina to Arki Route Map
Leros to Arki is a small-islands run, taking a little over an hour on the Dodekanisos Pride and up to around two and a half hours on the slower SAOS and Patmos Star services. Three operators cover it between them, with the Patmos Star working the local circuit around Patmos and Lipsi. Most sailings call at Lipsi or Patmos on the way, so the crossing rarely feels long.
Arki is one of the smallest inhabited islands in the Dodecanese, a tiny place north of Patmos with a handful of residents, a sheltered harbour and very little in the way of facilities. There is no bank, no real village to speak of beyond the harbour tavernas, and no organised sightseeing. People come for the swimming, the quiet and the sense of being well off the usual track.
Between the operators there is a sailing on most days in season, but the pattern is thin and worth checking carefully. Current departures and fares are listed in the table below. Bring cash and enough of what you need, since resupply depends on the same boats.

Tips for the Agia Marina to Arki ferry
- On busy summer short hops, the return sailing can fill up – book your return ticket at the same time as your outward ticket to guarantee a place.
- Some routes in the Dodecanese chain only operate in full summer mode from June; May sailings may be less frequent than the website implies.
- On catamaran services, lower deck seats tend to be calmer in rough seas but can feel enclosed; upper deck seats offer more natural light and better views.
- Snacks in your bag reduce dependency on the onboard cafeteria and save money – nuts, crackers, fruit, and chocolate travel well.
