Arki to Farmakonissi Route Map
Arki to Farmakonissi 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 Farmakonissi exists to serve the island rather than to carry visitors. The crossing itself is short and straightforward in fair weather.
Farmakonissi 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, and the current timetable and fares are shown below. 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.

Tips for the Arki to Farmakonissi ferry
- A lightweight drybag or small tote is handy for beach days on islands – it doubles as your day bag on short crossings when you leave your main bag at the hotel.
- Pets travel in a dedicated area on most Greek ferries; book your pet's space when you book your own ticket as places are limited.
- In July, the meltemi typically produces its strongest conditions in the open Cyclades, particularly between Mykonos, Paros, and Ios; plan shorter hops in this area.
- In the shoulder months of May, June, and September, you will often find seats and cabins available right up to departure day.
