Astypalea to Lipsi Route Map
Astypalea to Lipsi takes around three and three-quarter hours on the Dodekanisos Pride, the Dodekanisos Seaways catamaran. The route runs north through the Dodecanese, past Kalymnos and Leros, before reaching the small island of Lipsi between Leros and Patmos. It is a fast, mostly enclosed boat with limited deck space.
Lipsi is a small, low-key island with a village-y feel, popular with Greek and Italian summer visitors. Ferries dock right in the main village, so you step off into the heart of town, which is compact and walkable. The church of Agios Ioannis Theologos and the Panagia tou Harou icon are the main sights, and the rest is beach-hopping and unhurried tavernas, with Platys Gialos the best known stretch of sand.
Sailings run about once a week, and the current timetable and fares are shown below. Fares start around thirty-nine euros. Lipsi connects easily to Patmos and Leros on local boats and the Dodekanisos Seaways catamarans if you want to keep moving.

Tips for the Astypalea to Lipsi ferry
- Waterproof dry bags or zip-lock bags are useful for protecting electronics and documents from sea spray when spending time on the outdoor deck.
- 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.
- Board early to secure a good seat on open-plan ferries – the best spots near windows and on the outside deck fill quickly.
- High-speed services between the Cyclades often run reduced frequencies in spring and autumn compared to July and August; check the actual timetable.
- Shaded spots on the upper deck are limited; the best ones – under funnels or superstructure overhangs – are claimed within minutes of departure.
