Agios Kirykos to Karlovassi Route Map
Ikaria to the northern Samos port of Karlovassi is covered by Blue Star Ferries on the Blue Star Myconos and by Sea Gem Maritime Company with the smaller Megalochari. The crossing takes between about an hour and three quarters and two and a half hours depending on the vessel and any call at Fourni. Fares start around €7.50 on the local boat, which makes it one of the best-value links going.
Karlovassi is Samos' second port, on the north coast west of the capital Vathy, with a working-town character and a university presence rather than a resort feel. The town splits between Old and New Karlovassi, and the port handles both island and mainland services. It is a good base for the west of Samos, including the beaches and the walking country inland.
There are around four sailings a fortnight, so a couple most weeks in season. Current departures and fares are shown in the table below. Buses cross the island to Vathy and Pythagorio, both of which have their own ferry connections.

Tips for the Agios Kirykos to Karlovassi ferry
- Sunscreen is mandatory on the exposed deck of a ferry in summer; even a two-hour crossing can result in sunburn if you stand in direct sun.
- A small padlock is useful not only for your luggage but also for hostel lockers if you are staying in mixed accommodation.
- Aircraft-style reserved seats cost a little more than deck class and are worth it on longer crossings if cabins are beyond your budget.
- If a short hop is your only connection to an island with no other transport options, missing the last ferry means an unplanned overnight stay – plan conservatively.
