Tips for the Leros to Karlovassi ferry
- Booking a summer return to Athens a week or two before departure gives you flexibility while still securing a ticket before the final-week rush.
- Washing clothes at island laundries (found on almost every inhabited island) means you can travel with less; a 3–4 day supply of clothing is usually enough.
- Ferry companies often have a small ticket office or kiosk at the port – useful for last-minute changes, upgrades, or questions about your booking.
- In summer, the heat on quaysides can be intense, especially during midday departures – a hat and water are essential while waiting to board.
- Smoking is not permitted inside ferry terminals or on board vessels in enclosed areas; designated smoking areas are usually at the stern on open deck.
