Fourni to Vathy Route Map
Fourni to Vathy, the capital of Samos, takes around two hours on Blue Star Ferries' Diagoras. It runs as one leg of the ship's longer eastern Aegean line, so you are on a full-size conventional ferry for a fairly short crossing. Fares start around €13.
Vathy, officially Samos Town, sits at the head of a deep sheltered bay, which is where its name comes from. It is a working port town combining administration, shopping streets and a lively harbourfront rather than a resort atmosphere, with an archaeological museum worth an hour of anyone's time. It is the main gateway for Samos, with onward buses across the island and boats over to Kusadasi in Turkey.
Sailings on this pairing run roughly once a week. The current timetable and fares are listed in the table below. Karlovassi, Samos's other port, has considerably more services from Fourni if the dates do not suit.

Tips for the Fourni to Vathy ferry
- If your sailing is cancelled, do not simply wait at the port indefinitely – go to the operator's office, confirm the next available sailing, and plan your overnight if needed.
- The safest route from a weather perspective in summer is one that runs in the lee of large islands – the north coast of Crete, or between closely spaced island chains.
- If you need to change your ticket, it is usually cheaper to do so online than at the port ticket office, where a handling fee may apply.
- The meltemi wind, a strong north-north-westerly, blows across the central and southern Aegean from roughly July through to early September.
