Timetable not published yet

The last known sailing on this route was on 12 October 2026. No timetable beyond that date has been published yet. Greek operators often release the next season’s schedules only a few months ahead, so this can be a seasonal pause rather than the end of the route. Over the last 12 months it ran from January to September, busiest in April (less than once a week).

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

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.
