Diafani to Kassos Route Map
Diafani to Kassos takes between about two and a half and three hours on the Blue Star Ferries service, worked by the Blue Star Chios, usually with a call at Karpathos Town on the way. It is a conventional ferry with a restaurant, lounges and open deck. The stretch south past the bottom of Karpathos can be choppy when the meltemi is blowing.
Kassos is a small, remote island south of Karpathos, one of the least visited in Greece, quiet and rather barren with minimal tourism infrastructure. The main port and capital is Fry, on the north coast. It suits travellers after genuine off-grid island life, with the caves at Ellinokamara and Selai the main outing.
Sailings run around twice a week in season and largely stop outside it. The current timetable and fares are shown below. Kassos also has frequent small-boat links with Karpathos Town and connections on to Sitia and Heraklio on Crete.
