Dodekanisos Express
High-speed passenger and car catamaran · operated by Dodekanisos Seaways
The workhorse of the Dodekanisos Seaways fleet -- a fast catamaran that stitches together most of the Dodecanese in a single day, from Rhodes out to the tiny outposts of Agathonisi and Kastellorizo. Expect airline-style seating rather than open deck lounging, with a small car deck for those bringing a vehicle island-hopping.
