Farmakonissi to Pythagorio Route Map
Farmakonissi to Pythagorio on Samos takes a little over two hours on SAOS Ferries' conventional ship Saonisos. It is a northbound leg of a longer circuit through the small islands off the Turkish coast. The Saonisos is a slow, steady boat rather than a fast craft.
Pythagorio is a small harbour town on the south coast of Samos, more relaxed in feel than the island's main port at Vathy. Logothetis Castle overlooks the yacht and fishing harbour, and there are tavernas along the waterfront. The ancient Heraion and the UNESCO-listed Eupalinos tunnel are both a short trip away.
There is typically just one scheduled sailing in a fortnight, so this is not a route to depend on. Current departures and fares are shown below. From Samos there are considerably better connections onward, particularly from Vathy and Karlovassi towards Chios, Ikaria and Piraeus.

Tips for the Farmakonissi to Pythagorio ferry
- Group discounts are available on some operators for parties of six or more – contact the operator directly if you cannot see a group rate online.
- The meltemi wind, a strong north-north-westerly, blows across the central and southern Aegean from roughly July through to early September.
- Campervans and motorhomes require a dedicated vehicle category when booking; standard car prices do not apply and spaces are limited.
- Aircraft-style reserved seats cost a little more than deck class and are worth it on longer crossings if cabins are beyond your budget.
- If your sailing is cancelled, do not simply wait at the port indefinitely – go to the operator's office, confirm the next available sailing, and plan your overnight if needed.
