These are the sailings we recorded on this route from October 2025 to September 2026. They show what ran then, not a forecast: timetables change from year to year.

Kalymnos to Mastichari is the workhorse crossing between Kalymnos and Kos, taking thirty to forty-five minutes on the small local ferries run by ANEM and Lafasi. The Hlias T. and Olympios Zeus cover it several times a day, carrying cars as well as foot passengers. It is short, cheap and heavily used by locals as well as visitors.

Mastichari is a small fishing village and low-key resort on the northwest coast of Kos, quieter and more family-oriented than Kos Town. There is a sandy beach, a small fishing quay and a row of simple tavernas near the harbour. Its main practical advantage is proximity to Kos airport, which is only a short drive away.

Sailings run multiple times a day through the season, making this the most reliable link between the two islands. The current timetable and fares are shown below. Buses meet arrivals for Kos Town and the airport, though it is worth checking the connection if you are on a tight flight schedule.
