Timetable not published yet

The last known sailing on this route was on 26 August 2026. No timetable beyond that date has been published yet. Greek operators often release the next season’s schedules only a few months ahead, so this can be a seasonal pause rather than the end of the route. Over the last 12 months it ran from June to August, busiest in July (about twice a week).

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. 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.
