Kasos to Diafani Route Map
Kasos to Diafani is a short hop along the chain that links the Dodecanese to Crete, run by Blue Star Ferries on the Blue Star Chios. The crossing takes around two and a half hours, leaving Fry on the north coast of Kasos and running up the eastern side of Karpathos. It is a conventional ferry, so there is deck space to sit out and watch the Karpathian coastline come into view.
Diafani is a small fishing village on the northeast coast of Karpathos, and the harbour is tiny, backed by pine-covered hills. Most people arriving here are heading up to Olympos, the mountain village known for its preserved traditional dress, dialect and windmills, reached by the mountain road or on foot along the trail. There is very little in the way of development at the port itself, which is much of the appeal.
Sailings run a couple of times a week rather than daily, so this is a crossing to plan a trip around rather than drop into. The current timetable and fares are shown in the table below. Small boats and the road south also connect Diafani with Pigadia, the main town and port of Karpathos, if you want to continue on from there.

Tips for the Kasos to Diafani ferry
- On routes operated by a single company, focus on choosing the right class of service rather than comparing operators.
- Ferry companies often have a small ticket office or kiosk at the port – useful for last-minute changes, upgrades, or questions about your booking.
- Ferry departure times in Greece are local time – confirm whether Greece is on summer time (EEST, UTC+3) or winter time (EET, UTC+2) to avoid confusion.
- On a sunny day, the sheltered lee side of the vessel (the side facing away from the wind) is the most comfortable spot on the outer deck.
- If you are anxious about rough conditions, sit inside at or near the centre of the vessel and avoid looking out of windows at the waves.

Search for a connection between any two Greek ports, including journeys that need a change.
