Chios to Agios Kirykos Route Map
Chios south to Agios Kirykos on Ikaria is a long leg of the Blue Star Ferries North Aegean line, run by the Diagoras. Allow around six and three quarter hours, with calls at Samos on the way, so most of a day at sea. It is a conventional car ferry, with seating lounges, cabins and a restaurant on board.
Agios Kirykos is the capital and main port of Ikaria, a workaday harbour town rather than a polished resort. The town's thermal spa facilities sit close to the harbour, drawing on Ikaria's long standing hot springs tradition, and the island is widely known as a Blue Zone for the longevity of its residents. Note that Ikaria has a second port at Evdilos on the north coast, used by some routes instead of this one.
Sailings are roughly weekly, so this is a route to build a trip around. The timetable and fares as they currently stand are shown below. From Agios Kirykos there are onward links to Fourni, Samos and the Dodecanese, and buses across the island to Evdilos and Armenistis.

Hiring a car
Can you rent a car in Chios?
Yes, and the ferry dock sits right in Chios Town itself, with rental offices a short walk away or at the airport 3-4km south. A car makes sense if you want to reach the Mastic villages in the south or Kambos's walled citrus groves, since buses run less frequently outside town; compare prices at Discover Cars.

Tips for the Chios to Agios Kirykos ferry
- If you are leaving luggage unattended on a ferry, remove all valuable items and do not leave your bag in an isolated or unsupervised area.
- Ferry departure times in Greece are local time – confirm whether Greece is on summer time (EEST, UTC+3) or winter time (EET, UTC+2) to avoid confusion.
- Wi-Fi is available on board many Greek ferries but is often slow and unreliable; download maps, podcasts, and entertainment before you board.
- Lightning storms are possible in spring and autumn; they are usually short-lived and rarely affect ferry operations, but can cause brief delays at loading.
- If you need a taxi on arrival at a small island, the queue can be long when a ferry docks – consider pre-booking or walking to your accommodation if it is nearby.
