Ferry from Kalymnos (Pothia) to Agia Marina (Leros)

Kalymnos to Agia Marina is the fast local link to Leros, run by Dodekanisos Seaways and SAOS Ferries with the Dodekanisos Express, Dodekanisos Pride and Saonisos. The catamarans cover it in around forty-five minutes, while slower sailings with calls on the way take up to an hour and a half. It is one of the easiest hops in the northern Dodecanese.

Agia Marina is the commercial and administrative heart of Leros, with a working harbour alongside a good deal of Italian-era architecture, including the clocktower and the market building left from the 1912 to 1943 administration. The island is calm and unhurried compared with Kos or Patmos, with good beaches and plenty of Second World War history to explore. Leros's other port, Lakki, is a few kilometres away and handles the larger ferries.

Sailings run a couple of times a day in season. The current timetable and fares are shown below. Check which Leros port your ticket uses, since Agia Marina and Lakki are served by different boats and sit on opposite sides of the island.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tips for the Kalymnos to Agia Marina ferry

• Card payments are accepted at most onboard bars and cafeterias on modern ferries; older vessels may be cash-only – have some euros in your pocket.
• Short crossings under two hours rarely require advance booking outside of peak summer – you can often turn up and board with ease.
• Short hops in the Dodecanese (e.g. Rhodes to Symi, or Kos to Kalymnos) pass through strikingly scenic straits – make sure your phone is charged for photos.
• The Ionian Sea (western Greece: Corfu, Kefalonia, Zakynthos) has a different weather pattern to the Aegean – it is wetter in autumn and winter but calmer in summer.
