These are the sailings we recorded on this route from November 2025 to October 2026. They show what ran then, not a forecast: timetables change from year to year.

Arki to Farmakonisi takes around an hour on the Saonisos, run by SAOS Ferries as part of the subsidised line serving the smallest islands of the northern Dodecanese. It is a conventional boat, not a fast craft, and the call at Farmakonisi exists to serve the island rather than to carry visitors. The crossing itself is short and straightforward in fair weather.

Farmakonisi is a very small, sparsely inhabited island close to the Turkish coast, best known for its border and military significance rather than as a place to visit. There is effectively no tourist infrastructure at the landing, and no accommodation or services you could rely on. Treat it as a working stop rather than a destination.

Sailings are very occasional, on the order of once a fortnight. Anyone considering the trip needs to work out the return leg first, because there may be a long gap. Patmos and Leros are the practical bases for this part of the Dodecanese.
