Kavala to Agios Kirykos Route Map
This is one of the longest single ferry journeys in the Aegean, running from Kavala in northern Greece down to Agios Kirykos on Ikaria. Blue Star Ferries operates it with the Diagoras, and the passage takes around twenty hours, calling at several islands on the way south. It is an overnight sailing in the fullest sense, and a cabin is worth the money.
Agios Kirykos is the capital and main port of Ikaria, a workaday harbour town rather than a polished resort. The town's thermal spa facilities sit close to the harbour, drawing on Ikaria's hot springs tradition, and the island is best known for its unhurried culture and its reputation as a Blue Zone for longevity. Ikaria has a second port at Evdilos on the north coast, so check which one your ferry uses.
The route runs only a couple of times a fortnight, so it suits people already travelling in the north rather than anyone in a hurry. The current timetable and fares are listed below. Most travellers reach Ikaria from Piraeus or via Samos and Fourni, which are considerably quicker options.

Tips for the Kavala to Agios Kirykos ferry
- On routes served by high-speed catamarans, all seats are assigned – choose seats towards the centre of the vessel for the smoothest ride in choppy conditions.
- Many island businesses (restaurants, hotels, excursion boats) close entirely from October to April; factor this in before planning an off-season island stay.
- Disembarkation on large ferries can take 10–20 minutes after docking; do not panic if it seems slow – vehicles disembark first.
- If you feel claustrophobic in enclosed spaces, reserve a window seat or opt for an outdoor berth – the open deck is always available.
