Karlovassi to Kavala Route Map
Karlovassi to Kavala is the full length of Blue Star Ferries' eastern Aegean line, sailed by the Diagoras. It runs to something over sixteen hours, calling at Chios, Lesvos and Limnos on the way north, so it is an overnight passage rather than a day crossing. A cabin or at least a reclining seat is worth thinking about for a trip of this length.
Kavala is a mainland port city in Eastern Macedonia, built up a hillside above its harbour. The old Panagia quarter, the castle and the Kamares aqueduct sit within walking distance of the waterfront, and the Roman site at Philippi is a short drive inland. It is also the usual jumping-off point for Thassos, and it has its own airport for onward travel.
The service runs only a couple of times a fortnight, so it is a scheduled event rather than a casual option. Current sailing days, durations and fares are listed in the table below.

- Return tickets on the same operator are sometimes cheaper than two separate one-way fares – compare both options before confirming.
- The pet area on most ferries is outside, on the lower vehicle deck, which can be hot in summer – check the weather before booking a pet on a summer sailing.
- Two-berth cabins with a porthole cost more but are worth the premium for overnight crossings – a few hours of genuine sleep transforms how you arrive.
