Kasos to Rhodes Route Map
Kasos to Rhodes is a long northeasterly run of around six hours with Blue Star Ferries aboard the Blue Star Chios, calling at Karpathos and often Chalki on the way. It is a conventional ferry with a restaurant, lounges and deck space, and the island calls break the crossing up nicely. The final approach along the west coast of Rhodes is worth being on deck for.
Rhodes is the largest island in the Dodecanese and the region's main hub, best known for its walled medieval Old Town built by the Knights of St John and listed by UNESCO. The commercial harbour is a short walk from the walls, and Mandraki harbour, associated with the legendary Colossus, lies just north. Beyond the town there are beaches down both coasts.
Sailings run around three times a week in season and thin out considerably outside it. The current timetable and fares are shown in the table below. Rhodes has an international airport plus ferry links to the rest of the Dodecanese, Crete, Piraeus and Turkey, so it is the natural connecting point.

Hiring a car
Is it worth hiring a car in Rhodes?
Worth it if you're staying more than a couple of days, since the island is large and its two bus companies (Roda in the west, KTEL in the east) don't make it easy to combine both coasts in a day. The port is a 10-minute walk from Rhodes Old Town, with paid parking nearby. Compare local suppliers at Discover Cars.

Tips for the Kasos to Rhodes ferry
- Photography of port infrastructure and vessels is generally tolerated for personal use; however, some military port areas have restrictions, so use common sense.
- Bring your own food for overnight crossings if you are budget-conscious – a supermarket picnic before boarding is a fraction of the onboard price.
- 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.
- Once you arrive in Rhodes, the medieval walled Old Town – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – is one of the best-preserved medieval cities in Europe, with the Street of the Knights and the Palace of the Grand Master as its centrepieces. Tsambika Beach on the east coast and the ancient hilltop site of Lindos are the island's other headline attractions.
