Fourni to Kos Route Map
Fourni to Kos runs on two very different boats: the Dodekanisos Seaways catamaran Dodekanisos Pride covers it in under four hours, while Blue Star Ferries' Blue Star Patmos takes over five as part of a longer line. Both head south through the Dodecanese with calls along the way. Fares start around €31.
Kos is a large, lively island close to the Turkish coast near Bodrum, geared towards beach holidays and family tourism but with plenty of ancient history alongside. The main harbour sits directly beneath the medieval Castle of the Knights, which is the first thing you see coming in. The island is flat and easy to cycle, and the Asklepieion, the ancient healing sanctuary, is a short ride from town.
Services run around three times a week between the two operators. Current departures and fares appear in the table below. Kos is one of the best-connected ports in the Dodecanese, with onward links to Rhodes, Kalymnos, Nisyros and Piraeus.

Hiring a car
Can you rent a car in Kos?
Yes. The ferry port sits right in Kos Town, about 2km from the centre, a 20-25 minute walk or five-minute drive, with rental desks nearby. Buses run regularly between the main towns but thin out fast once you leave them, so a car is worth it if you want to reach the Asclepion, Mount Dikeos villages or the quieter beaches.

Tips for the Fourni to Kos ferry
- If your ferry is cancelled, the operator is required to offer a refund or alternative sailing; head to the operator's quayside office immediately.
- Travel insurance covering ferry cancellations due to weather is worth considering if your trip depends on reaching a specific island on a specific date.
- Seasickness wristbands (acupressure) help some travellers and have no side effects – worth trying if you prefer not to take tablets.
- In Kos, ancient history and beach life sit side by side – the Tree of Hippocrates in Kos Town is said to be the very spot where the father of medicine taught, while the nearby Asklepion was one of antiquity's most important healing sanctuaries. The island's long sandy beaches and flat terrain, ideal for cycling, make it one of the most accessible of the Dodecanese.
