Chryssomilia to Thymena Route Map

Map of the north Aegean showing the ferry route south-west from Chryssomilia to Thymena.

This is a twenty-minute crossing between two of the smallest inhabited harbours in the Aegean, worked by the Megalochari for Sea Gem Maritime. Chryssomilia sits at the northern end of Fourni, Thymena is the neighbouring island in the same little archipelago, and the boat threads between them in flat, sheltered water. It is a local lifeline service rather than a tourist route, and the vessel is small in proportion.

Thymena is about as quiet as Greek island travel gets: one village, a handful of tavernas along the waterfront, and a fishing economy that has never had reason to change. There are no sights as such, and most people come simply for the pace of the place. Facilities are minimal, so bring what you need rather than expect to buy it on arrival.

Sailings run two or three times a week, timed for islanders rather than day trippers, so a visit usually means an overnight stay. Current departures are shown in the timetable below. The same boat links both islands with Fourni town, Karlovassi on Samos and Agios Kirykos on Ikaria, which is how most people reach the archipelago in the first place.

Tips for the Chryssomilia to Thymena ferry

  • Watch for swell forecasts as well as wind speed – residual swell from a previous day's storm can make a crossing rough even when current wind is light.
  • If you are travelling with a pram or pushchair, store it in the designated vehicle area or a corridor space – it will not fit in the overhead racks.
  • Cold drinks sell out on very busy summer sailings; buy yours as soon as you board rather than waiting until you are thirsty.
  • Beaufort Force 6 is the usual threshold at which high-speed catamaran services are cancelled; conventional ferries generally operate up to Force 7 or 8.
