Kos to Agios Kirykos Route Map
Kos to Agios Kirykos links the Dodecanese with Ikaria in the North Aegean, served by Blue Star Ferries and Dodekanisos Seaways. The Dodekanisos Pride catamaran covers it in around three and a quarter hours, while the conventional Blue Star Patmos takes closer to six with calls along the way. Fares start around €33.
Agios Kirykos is the capital and main port of Ikaria, an unpretentious working harbour town rather than a resort. The town's thermal spa facilities sit close to the harbour, drawing on the island's hot springs tradition, and Ikaria is best known for its slow pace of life and its Blue Zone reputation for longevity. The island's second port, Evdilos, is on the north coast and is used by some routes instead.
Sailings run a couple of times a week in season. The current timetable and fares are listed below. The same boats usually continue towards Fourni and Samos, so this route works well as part of a northbound run out of the Dodecanese.

Hiring a car
Can you rent a car in Kos?
Yes. The ferry port sits right in Kos Town, about 2km from the centre, a 20-25 minute walk or five-minute drive, with rental desks nearby. Buses run regularly between the main towns but thin out fast once you leave them, so a car is worth it if you want to reach the Asclepion, Mount Dikeos villages or the quieter beaches.

Tips for the Kos to Agios Kirykos ferry
- The harbour sits right beside the medieval Castle of the Knights, with ticket agencies lining the waterfront. For domestic sailings on Dodekanisos Seaways and Blue Star ferries, arrive at least 30 to 45 minutes before departure to buy tickets and locate your berth.
- If you are travelling on to Kalymnos, check which port is printed on your ticket – many sailings, including the frequent local car ferries, depart from Mastichari on Kos's north-west coast, not from Kos Town harbour.
- Left-luggage lockers at Kos Town port are limited, so don't rely on finding one at short notice; pack light enough to carry your bags the short walk from the harbour into the old town yourself.
- If you are prone to seasickness and see a Force 5–6 forecast, take preventive medication the night before as well as on the morning of travel.
- If you feel claustrophobic in enclosed spaces, reserve a window seat or opt for an outdoor berth – the open deck is always available.
