Kalymnos to Syros Route Map
Kalymnos to Syros is a long west-bound crossing linking the Dodecanese with the Cyclades, run by Blue Star Ferries with the Blue Star 2. The passage takes around six and a half hours, with calls at islands along the way, so it is a solid half-day at sea. Fares start around sixty euros, reflecting the distance covered.
Ermoupoli, the port and main town of Syros, is the capital of the Cyclades and looks quite unlike its neighbours, with grand neoclassical architecture and an air of former commercial wealth. Two hilltop quarters overlook the harbour, Catholic Ano Syros and Orthodox Vrontado, each topped by a church. The town has real cultural life, including an opera house and several museums, rather than being a purely tourist port.
Sailings run a couple of times a week. The current timetable and fares are in the tables below. Syros is a major Cycladic hub, so from here you can pick up onward connections to Mykonos, Tinos, Paros, Naxos and Piraeus without much waiting.

Tips for the Kalymnos to Syros ferry
- Third-party booking agents are useful for comparing multiple operators on the same route, but check their cancellation and change policies before paying.
- Shower facilities are available in some cabin classes and in communal bathrooms on large overnight ferries – useful after a very long crossing.
- Pets must be kept in the designated pet area and may not enter passenger saloons; bring a lead and any food or water your pet needs for the crossing.
- Gather your belongings and move towards the appropriate exit before the vessel docks rather than scrambling at the last minute.
- Once you arrive in Syros, the elegant capital Ermoupoli – with its grand neoclassical town hall, marble-paved Miaouli Square, and the Apollo Theatre – reflects the island's prosperous 19th-century history as the commercial centre of the Aegean. The hilltop medieval settlement of Ano Syros, built by the Venetians around 1200 CE, offers a contrasting older layer of island history.
