Ferry from Kavala to Myrina (Lemnos)

Kavala to Myrina is the main mainland link to Lemnos, and one of the more useful crossings in the North Aegean. Blue Star Ferries, Hellenic Seaways and Seajets all work the route between them, with the Diagoras, Nissos Samos and Aquablue, and the passage takes around four hours. It is a straightforward conventional ferry run across open water, comfortable enough to sit out on deck in decent weather.

Myrina is the capital and main port of Lemnos, an attractive working town rather than a resort, with a mix of Ottoman and neoclassical buildings and two sandy town beaches. A large medieval castle sits on the rocky headland dividing those two beaches and dominates the view from the harbour. The island is known for its wine and ouzo, its quiet beaches and its volcanic, agricultural landscape, and Moudros Bay to the east has significant Gallipoli-era military history.

Sailings run roughly once a day across the season, which makes Lemnos one of the easier North Aegean islands to reach from northern Greece. The current timetable and fares are shown below. Kavala also has an airport nearby and good bus links to Thessaloniki, so the ferry fits neatly into a wider mainland itinerary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tips for the Kavala to Myrina ferry

• If you are at a small island when a multi-day storm hits, accommodation will fill quickly as stranded passengers compete for rooms – secure yours immediately.
• Stray cats are a common sight at Greek ports and on ferries – they are generally harmless but avoid feeding them as it encourages large numbers to gather.
• Watch for swell forecasts as well as wind speed – residual swell from a previous day's storm can make a crossing rough even when current wind is light.
• Port areas in Greek islands are compact but busy on arrival; have your onward transport or accommodation address noted so you can move quickly.
• A light cardigan or jacket is still useful in summer – the spray and wind on open deck can make even a 30°C day feel cool when the vessel is at speed.
