Fourni to Tilos Ferry

Useful Resources for Your Greek Island Trip

The last known sailing on this route was on 27 August 2026.

No timetable beyond that date has been published yet. Greek operators often release the next season’s schedules only a few months ahead, so this can be a seasonal pause rather than the end of the route. Check whether it is currently available to book through Ferryscanner.

Fourni to Tilos runs a little over eight hours on Blue Star Ferries' Blue Star Patmos, heading the length of the Dodecanese chain with island calls on the way. It is a conventional ferry, so there is room to move about, a bar and open decks for the crossing. This is a day's travel rather than a hop.

Ferries dock at Livadia, the main village on Tilos and the island's principal settlement. Tilos is among the least developed islands in the Dodecanese, quietly eco-conscious and known for hiking trails, birdwatching and empty beaches. Inland is the older settlement of Megalo Chorio, along with the Charkadio cave and its fossilised dwarf-elephant remains.

Sailings run roughly once a week, so dates need checking early. The current timetable and fares appear in the table below. Rhodes and Kos both have more regular connections to Tilos as an alternative.
