Chalki to Kassos Route Map
Chalki to Kassos runs on Blue Star Ferries' Blue Star Chios and takes somewhere between four and a quarter and four and three quarter hours, depending on the calls made along the way. This is the southern leg of the long Dodecanese line towards Crete, so it is a conventional ferry with cabins, seating lounges and open decks. Expect open water and few landmarks for much of it.
The ferry docks at Fry, the port and capital on the north coast, which is where almost everything on Kassos happens. Kassos is small, dry and among the least visited of the Greek islands, with minimal tourist infrastructure and a slow, traditional rhythm. People come for exactly that, plus the caves at Ellinokamara and Selai, and many treat it as a stop between Karpathos and Crete.
The route operates a couple of times a week, which is normal for this end of the line, so allow flexibility in your dates. The current schedule and fares are shown in the table below. The same ship continues to Crete, and Kassos also has a small airport with domestic links if the ferry days do not work.

- Senior discounts are offered by several operators for passengers over 65; the discount is applied automatically if you select the correct age category.
- Winter sailings are less frequent but rarely sell out for foot passengers; vehicles may be more restricted due to reduced sailing frequency.
- Wheelchair ramps are available at most larger ports, but smaller island ports may require assistance from crew – request help when booking.
- On routes operated by a single company, focus on choosing the right class of service rather than comparing operators.
