Leros to Kavala Route Map
Leros to Kavala is about as long as Greek domestic ferry travel gets, running roughly twenty to twenty-four hours on the Blue Star vessel Diagoras. The ship works north through the eastern Aegean islands before crossing to the northern mainland, so a cabin is worth the money on this one rather than an optional extra.
Kavala is a major port city on the Aegean coast of Eastern Macedonia, built up a slope above its harbour. The old town in the Panagia district has Ottoman-era architecture and a fortress at the top, and the Kamares aqueduct crosses the city below it. Most travellers use Kavala as a gateway to Thassos or to the archaeological site at Philippi inland, and it has its own airport and good road links across northern Greece.
Sailings run only a few times a fortnight, so this route lives entirely by its timetable. Current departures and fares are shown in the table below, from around €63. Note that ferries to Thassos also run from Keramoti, a short drive east of the city, which is often the quicker option for that crossing.

Tips for the Leros to Kavala ferry
- On overnight ferries, the restaurant serves a proper hot dinner; for long crossings this is worth the price rather than relying on packaged snacks.
- Four-berth cabins offer the best value if you are travelling as a family or small group; the cost divided between you is often comparable to a budget hotel room.
- Greek coffee on ferries is reliably good – a frappe or freddo espresso on the outside deck is one of the pleasures of Aegean travel.
- Outside cabins with portholes cost more but the natural light and view make a significant difference to how rested you feel on arrival.
- Onboard announcements are made in Greek first and English second; if you miss the English version, ask a fellow passenger what was said.
