Fourni to Patmos Route Map
Fourni to Patmos runs on both fast and conventional boats, taking from under an hour and a half on the Dodekanisos Seaways catamaran Dodekanisos Pride to around two and a half hours on Blue Star Ferries' Blue Star Patmos or Diagoras. The catamaran is quicker but more likely to be affected by strong winds. Fares start around €14.
Ferries dock at Skala, the main port of Patmos, with the hilltop Chora and the fortified Monastery of St John looking down from above. The island is a place of pilgrimage as much as a holiday destination, with the Cave of the Apocalypse on the road up to Chora. Its UNESCO listing has kept development in check, so the island stays quieter than its size and profile would suggest.
Sailings run three or four times a week across the operators. The current timetable and fares are listed below. Patmos is a good hub for the northern Dodecanese, with regular links to Lipsi, Leros and Kalymnos.

Tips for the Fourni to Patmos ferry
- In July, the meltemi typically produces its strongest conditions in the open Cyclades, particularly between Mykonos, Paros, and Ios; plan shorter hops in this area.
- Very calm sea conditions – glassy water and no swell – are common in early June and late September. These are the most comfortable times to cross the open Aegean.
- Once you arrive in Patmos, the UNESCO-protected old town of Hora and the imposing Monastery of Saint John the Theologian – built in the 11th century – dominate the hilltop above the port. The Cave of the Apocalypse, where Saint John is said to have written the Book of Revelation, is one of the most important Christian pilgrimage sites in the world.
