Agios Kirykos to Kavala Route Map
The Ikaria to Kavala sailing is the full length of the North Aegean route, run by Blue Star Ferries on the Diagoras, and it takes around twenty hours. The ship calls at several islands on the way north before reaching the mainland coast of Eastern Macedonia. Deck fares start around €36, and a cabin is worth having on a passage this long.
Kavala is a substantial port city built up a hillside above its harbour, with the old Panagia quarter, Ottoman-era architecture and the Kamares aqueduct. It has its own airport and good road connections west to Thessaloniki, which makes it a practical exit point from the islands. The archaeological site at Philippi is a short drive inland.
The through service runs roughly once a week, so most people making this journey break it partway. Current departures and fares are shown below. Kavala is also the jumping-off point for Thassos, though those crossings generally leave from Keramoti further along the coast.

Tips for the Agios Kirykos to Kavala ferry
- Watch for swell forecasts as well as wind speed – residual swell from a previous day's storm can make a crossing rough even when current wind is light.
- If your itinerary is time-critical (flight the next day), always choose the conventional slow ferry over the fast catamaran in summer – reliability matters more than speed.
- Entertainment on overnight ferries is limited – bring a book, download a podcast series, or load your phone with films before you travel.
- Passports or national identity cards are required for all passengers on domestic Greek ferry routes – carry yours in your day bag, not buried in your hold luggage.
- 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.
