Ferry from Kalymnos (Pothia) to Lipsi

Kalymnos and Lipsi lie close together in the Dodecanese, and the crossing between them is one of the shorter, more straightforward inter-island hops in this part of the Aegean. Three companies share the route, running everything from quick catamarans to slower conventional ferries, so you can pick a sailing to suit your schedule rather than build your day around a single departure. New sailings keep being added to the timetable as the season progresses, so don't assume the route stops once the currently published dates run out -- check the schedule box above for the latest confirmed dates before you book.

Departures are thin on the ground outside the main season and pick up noticeably once summer arrives, when it becomes far easier to find a crossing that lines up with your plans. For the day-by-day detail rather than a seasonal average, use the monthly table below together with the booking links above.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tips for the Kalymnos to Lipsi ferry

• Winter nights on deck are cold; long crossings in January or February in the northern Aegean can feel genuinely harsh – dress warmly.
• Avoid heavy meals immediately before boarding if you are prone to seasickness; a light snack is fine but a full taverna lunch is not ideal.
• Disembarkation is fast on small short-hop ferries; station yourself near the exit before the vessel reaches the harbour to avoid being last off.
• Vehicle dimensions and weight affect your ferry fare; double-check the operator's measurement categories if you are driving an unusually large or heavy vehicle.
