Astakos to Frikes takes about two hours with Ionion P. Lines on a conventional ferry. It is a straightforward run west across the Ionian from the Aetolia-Acarnania coast to the north end of Ithaki. Fares start around €13.
Frikes is a small fishing harbour on Ithaki's northeast coast, fringed with tavernas and stone buildings under terraced hillsides. It is the smallest of the island's three ferry ports and stays quiet even in season. Kioni is a short drive round the coast, and Vathy, the island capital, lies further south.
The boat runs roughly once a day, so it pays to plan around it rather than turn up. The timetable and current fares are shown below. Frikes also connects on to Fiskardo on Kefallonia and Vassiliki on Lefkada, which makes hopping round the northern Ionian workable without returning to the mainland.

Tips for the Astakos to Frikes ferry
- Return tickets on the same operator are sometimes cheaper than two separate one-way fares – compare both options before confirming.
- When booking for the return leg of a day trip, remember that the last ferry of the day can fill up – book your return at the same time as your outward journey.
- Economy deck class is the cheapest option and perfectly comfortable on short crossings – you have access to indoor seating, outside decks, and all onboard facilities.
- Some booking sites charge a service fee on top of the base fare; the total shown at checkout is what matters, not just the headline price.
- Bring a portable power bank rated at least 10,000 mAh; charging sockets on ferries are not always reliable, and island power cuts are not unheard of.
