Katapola to Leros Route Map
Katapola to Leros takes around three and a half hours on Blue Star Ferries' Blue Star 2, part of the seasonal service that connects Amorgos with the Dodecanese. It is a large conventional ferry, so the crossing is comfortable even when the meltemi is blowing across this stretch of the Aegean. Expect calls at other islands as part of the wider route.
Leros is one of the quieter Dodecanese islands, and the ferry docks at Lakki, a harbour lined with striking Italian Art Deco buildings from the 1930s. Lakki is the ferry port rather than the island's main town; Platanos, with the hilltop Castle of Pandeli above it, and the beach village of Agia Marina are a short drive away. The island has a deliberately understated feel and suits travellers who want somewhere unhurried.
Sailings are around once a week and seasonal, so plan around them rather than assuming flexibility. The current timetable and fares are shown below, with fares starting near €33. Leros connects easily onward to Kalymnos, Patmos and Kos.

Tips for the Katapola to Leros ferry
- Amorgos has two ferry ports, Katapola in the south and Aegiali in the north, about 20km apart by road and roughly 30 to 40 minutes' drive. Always check which port your ticket departs from before setting off, as the two are not interchangeable.
- The Donoussa crossing is usually run by the small Express Skopelitis ferry, which is more sensitive to rough weather than larger vessels on the main Piraeus routes. In poor conditions check locally, as sailings can be delayed or cancelled at short notice.
- A local bus links Chora to Katapola port, but its timetable shifts seasonally and is only loosely tied to ferry times, so confirm departure times locally rather than relying on a fixed schedule, especially for early sailings.
- The smell of diesel and engine exhaust is stronger at the stern in summer heat; if you are sensitive to it, choose a bow-facing seat or the upper deck.
- When booking a multi-island itinerary, save a PDF or screenshot of each confirmation; email may not load reliably when you are at a small island port.
