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. Check whether it is currently available to book through Ferryscanner.
Historically, this route ran about 0.3 sailings a day in July 2026, about 0.4 sailings a day in August 2026.
Leros to Mytilini is one of the longest scheduled runs in the Aegean, taking somewhere between nine and a quarter and just over thirteen hours on the Blue Star vessel Diagoras. It links the Dodecanese with the far northeast Aegean, calling at islands including Chios on the way, so plan it as an overnight-scale journey rather than a crossing.
Mytilini is the capital and main port of Lesvos, the third-largest Greek island, and it is a genuine working city rather than a resort. A Genoese and Byzantine castle looks down over the harbour, and neoclassical mansions line the waterfront. The island is known for olive oil, ouzo distilleries, birdwatching in the gulfs, the petrified forest in the west, and traditional villages such as Molyvos.
Sailings run only a few times a fortnight, so the schedule dictates the trip. Current departures and fares are shown in the table below. Lesvos has an airport with regular domestic flights, which many travellers use for one leg of the journey rather than doing the full run by sea in both directions.
