Evdilos to Vathy Route Map
This crossing links Evdilos on Ikaria with Vathy, the capital and main port of Samos, taking around two and a quarter hours on the Blue Star Myconos. It runs as part of Blue Star Ferries' longer eastern Aegean line, so the ship is a full-size conventional ferry with proper facilities. The route passes along Samos's north coast on the approach.
Vathy, officially Samos Town, sits at the head of a deep sheltered bay, which is where the name comes from. It is a working town rather than a resort, mixing administration and shopping streets with a lively harbourfront and an archaeological museum worth an hour. It is also the main gateway for onward travel across Samos and the short hop across to Kusadasi in Turkey.
Sailings are infrequent on this particular pairing, running roughly once a week. Current departures and fares are shown in the table below. Karlovassi, Samos's other port, has far more services from Evdilos if the dates do not work.

Tips for the Evdilos to Vathy ferry
- Keep valuables – wallet, passport, phone – in a small day bag you carry on board; never leave them in checked luggage or in your car on the car deck.
- Check whether your booking confirmation requires you to collect a physical ticket from the operator's port office – some agents issue vouchers that need exchanging.
- If you want to avoid the worst of the meltemi, book morning departures from exposed Aegean ports in July and August – conditions are typically calmer before midday.
- Sunscreen is mandatory on the exposed deck of a ferry in summer; even a two-hour crossing can result in sunburn if you stand in direct sun.
- 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.
