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
- Some routes in the Dodecanese chain only operate in full summer mode from June; May sailings may be less frequent than the website implies.
- On some very short crossings, tickets are sold on board rather than at a booth; board first and pay the crew.
- The ship's tannoy system uses a chime before announcements; listen for the three-tone signal that precedes important information about arrivals or delays.
- Check whether your booking confirmation requires you to collect a physical ticket from the operator's port office – some agents issue vouchers that need exchanging.
