Kos to Pythagorio connects the Dodecanese with the south coast of Samos, run by Dodekanisos Seaways with the Dodekanisos Pride. The crossing takes around four to five hours depending on the calls made along the way.

Pythagorio is a small, pretty harbour town named after Pythagoras, noticeably more relaxed than Vathy on the far side of the island. Logothetis Castle overlooks a compact yacht and fishing harbour, and the ancient Heraion temple ruins and the UNESCO-listed Eupalinos tunnel are both close by. Beaches run away in both directions from the town.

Sailings run several times a week through the season and stop outside it. The last published timetable is shown below. Ferry links from Pythagorio are thinner than from Vathy, so if you are continuing north or west it is worth comparing both Samos ports before booking.
