Chalki to Kos Route Map
Chalki to Kos takes a little over two hours on Dodekanisos Seaways' fast catamarans, Dodekanisos Express and Dodekanisos Pride. These are modern, quick craft with airline-style seating, built for hopping between the Dodecanese islands. It is a foot-passenger service in practice, so vehicles need a different routing.
Kos is a large, lively island close to the Turkish coast near Bodrum, with the main harbour sitting directly below the medieval Castle of the Knights in Kos Town. Beyond the town there are beach resorts, easy flat cycling and the Asklepieion, the ancient healing sanctuary linked to Hippocrates. It is a busier, more developed place than Chalki by a wide margin.
Sailings run a couple of times a week rather than daily. Current departure times and fares are shown in the timetable below, with fares starting around €24. Kos has an international airport and frequent onward ferries, which makes it a practical exit point from the Dodecanese.

Hiring a car
Can you rent a car in Kos?
Yes. The ferry port sits right in Kos Town, about 2km from the centre, a 20-25 minute walk or five-minute drive, with rental desks nearby. Buses run regularly between the main towns but thin out fast once you leave them, so a car is worth it if you want to reach the Asclepion, Mount Dikeos villages or the quieter beaches.

Tips for the Chalki to Kos ferry
- The 15th of August sees mass movement across the Greek ferry network as families travel to their ancestral islands; this is the single busiest day of the year.
- On rough crossings, secure your belongings before leaving your seat – bags and bottles slide off tables easily, and wet floors make a spill a hazard.
- In Kos, ancient history and beach life sit side by side – the Tree of Hippocrates in Kos Town is said to be the very spot where the father of medicine taught, while the nearby Asklepion was one of antiquity's most important healing sanctuaries. The island's long sandy beaches and flat terrain, ideal for cycling, make it one of the most accessible of the Dodecanese.
