Leros to Lipsi Route Map

Map of the Dodecanese showing the ferry route north-north-west from Leros to Lipsi.

Leros to Lipsi is a short hop of about three quarters of an hour on Blue Star Ferries' Blue Star Patmos. It is barely long enough to settle in, and on a calm day the deck is the place to be. The conventional ferry takes vehicles as well as foot passengers, which matters if you are island-hopping with a car.

Lipsi is a small, quiet island sitting between Leros and Patmos, with a village-y feel and a strong following among Greek and Italian summer visitors. The ferry docks directly in the main village, so you arrive in the middle of things with tavernas and rooms a few steps away. People come for unhurried swimming and beach-hopping, with Platys Gialos the best known of the bays.

Blue Star sailings on this pairing are occasional, roughly once a week, so check the days carefully. Current departures and fares are shown in the timetable below, with fares starting around €5.50. Smaller local boats also work the Leros, Lipsi and Patmos triangle in season and often run more frequently.

Tips for the Leros to Lipsi ferry

  • On a short crossing, the outside deck is usually the most enjoyable spot – find a seat or a clear section of railing before the vessel gets crowded.
  • Weather apps on your phone are useful as a rough guide but marine-specific forecasts (Poseidon, Windy, Windguru) are more accurate for sea conditions.
  • On catamaran services, lower deck seats tend to be calmer in rough seas but can feel enclosed; upper deck seats offer more natural light and better views.
  • When the vessel is manoeuvring into port, crew will announce boarding locations over the PA system; listen for instructions on which gangway to use.
  • Smoking is permitted only in designated outdoor areas at the stern; the rules are enforced more strictly on newer vessels.
