The last known sailing on this route was on 6 September 2026. No timetable beyond that date has been published yet. Greek operators often release the next season’s schedules only a few months ahead, so this can be a seasonal pause rather than the end of the route. Over the last 12 months it ran from June to September, busiest in August (about once a week).

Katapola to Patmos is a leg of the Blue Star Ferries route that runs east from the Cyclades into the Dodecanese, taking a little over two hours on the Blue Star 2. It is a straightforward open-water crossing on a large conventional ship, with lounges, deck space and catering aboard. Because it is part of a longer itinerary, the boat may call at intermediate islands.

Patmos is a quiet, low-key island whose port is Skala, with the fortified Monastery of St John crowning the Chora on the hill above and visible from the quay. The monastery and the Cave of the Apocalypse are the reason many people come, and together they form a UNESCO World Heritage Site. That status has kept development modest, so the island stays calmer than its profile suggests.

This route sails roughly once a week and only in season, so it needs booking well in advance. The current timetable and fares are shown below. From Skala there are onward links to Leros, Kos and the rest of the Dodecanese.
