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.
