Fourni to Kalymnos Route Map
Fourni connects south to Kalymnos in anything from three to four hours, depending on whether you take Blue Star Ferries' Blue Star Patmos or the Dodekanisos Seaways catamaran Dodekanisos Pride. The fast boat is the quicker option, the conventional ferry the steadier one in rough weather. Fares start around €27.
Kalymnos is best known as the sponge-diving island, and it keeps a rugged, working character that sets it apart from busier Kos next door. Ferries dock at Pothia, the capital on the south coast, where sponge shops and workshops near the harbour are still part of local life. In recent decades the island has become a serious rock-climbing destination, with routes concentrated around Masouri on the west coast.
Sailings run around three times a week across the two operators. The current timetable and fares are listed below. Kalymnos is well connected onward to Kos, Leros and Patmos, so it works as a hub for the northern Dodecanese.

Tips for the Fourni to Kalymnos ferry
- July and August are the busiest months on almost every Greek ferry route; expect crowded vessels, longer boarding queues, and higher prices.
- Catamarans offer a faster crossing but have a lower wind-speed tolerance; in July and August, a booking on a conventional ferry is more likely to run on schedule.
- Shoes take up disproportionate space; one pair of sandals and one pair of walking shoes is sufficient for most island-hopping itineraries.
- Wheeled suitcases are harder to manage on steep gangways and across uneven quaysides than backpacks; a soft-sided bag with carry handles is a practical compromise.
- In Kalymnos, world-class rock climbing routes in the island's limestone cliffs have made it a magnet for climbers from across Europe, while the sheltered pebbly beach of Vlychadia and other coastal spots offer superb swimming. The island also has a deep tradition as a sponge-diving centre, which still shapes its culture today.
