Kalymnos to Agios Kirykos Route Map
Kalymnos to Agios Kirykos links the Dodecanese with Ikaria in the North Aegean, served by Blue Star Ferries and Dodekanisos Seaways. The Dodekanisos Pride catamaran covers it in around two and a half hours, while the Blue Star Patmos takes closer to five with calls on the way. Fares start around seventeen euros, which is reasonable for the distance.
Agios Kirykos is the capital and main port of Ikaria, a plain working harbour town rather than a resort. The town's thermal spa facilities are close to the harbour, drawing on the island's hot springs, and Ikaria is widely known for its unhurried way of life and its Blue Zone longevity reputation. Ikaria's second port, Evdilos, sits on the north coast and is used by some routes instead.
Sailings run a couple of times a week in season. The current timetable and fares are listed below. The same boats generally continue on towards Fourni and Samos, so Ikaria fits naturally into a northbound hop out of the Dodecanese.

Tips for the Kalymnos to Agios Kirykos ferry
- Children under a certain age travel free on most Greek ferry lines; the exact age threshold varies by operator, so check the terms when booking.
- Port areas in Greek islands are compact but busy on arrival; have your onward transport or accommodation address noted so you can move quickly.
- If your itinerary is time-critical (flight the next day), always choose the conventional slow ferry over the fast catamaran in summer – reliability matters more than speed.
