Astypalea to Tilos Route Map
Astypalea to Tilos takes around six hours on the Blue Star Patmos, Blue Star Ferries' conventional ship on the Dodecanese chain. The route heads southeast with calls at other islands en route, so it is a leisurely day at sea rather than a quick transfer. Deck space and a decent seat make the difference on a crossing this length.
Tilos sits between Nisyros and Rhodes and is one of the least developed islands in the Dodecanese, with a reputation for being eco-conscious and good for walkers. Ferries dock at Livadia, the island's main village, set on a bay with the harbour at one end. The island's marked hiking trails, birdlife, quiet beaches and the Charkadio cave with its fossilised dwarf elephant remains are the main draws, and the old hora at Megalo Chorio sits inland.
The route runs about once a week, and the current timetable and fares are shown below. Fares start around twelve euros. Tilos also connects to Rhodes, Nisyros and Kos on the local Dodecanese boats if you want more frequent options.

Tips for the Astypalea to Tilos ferry
- When boarding is announced, move promptly – gangways can be crowded and ferries do occasionally depart a minute or two early once all vehicles are loaded.
- The pet area on most ferries is outside, on the lower vehicle deck, which can be hot in summer – check the weather before booking a pet on a summer sailing.
- The Cyclades are more exposed to the meltemi than the Dodecanese, which are sheltered by the Turkish coast – a relevant factor when comparing summer sea conditions.
- Island-hopping itineraries that move in one direction (e.g. Athens to Rhodes via the Dodecanese) rather than back-and-forth are generally cheaper and less stressful.
- Greek ferries are generally safe and well-maintained; life jacket locations are posted throughout the vessel and a safety briefing sheet is usually displayed in cabins.
