Fourni to Karlovassi Route Map
Fourni to Karlovassi on Samos takes anywhere from fifty minutes to a bit over two hours, depending on the boat and the calls it makes. Blue Star Ferries run the Blue Star Myconos on the longer conventional service, while Sea Gem Maritime Company's Megalochari handles the smaller local sailings. Either way it is one of the more useful short hops in this corner of the Aegean.
Karlovassi is the second town and port of Samos, on the north coast west of the capital. It has a working-town feel with a university presence, and splits into Old and New Karlovassi. It is a practical base for the island's western beaches and the hiking country inland, with bus links along the north coast.
Sailings run about once a day across the two operators, which is frequent by Fourni standards. Current departures and fares are shown in the table below. From Karlovassi there are onward connections to Piraeus, Ikaria and the northern Aegean islands.

Tips for the Fourni to Karlovassi ferry
- If you are travelling with large or heavy bags, load them onto the vessel first and then find your seat, rather than struggling through corridors with luggage in tow.
- Travel insurance covering ferry cancellations due to weather is worth considering if your trip depends on reaching a specific island on a specific date.
- If you are travelling in winter, a compact rain jacket and a warm mid-layer are essential – the on-deck temperature can drop significantly on overnight crossings.
- The return trip on a day-trip short hop is usually the most crowded – the late afternoon ferry from a popular beach island fills fast in summer.
