Leros to Mytilini Route Map
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.

Tips for the Leros to Mytilini ferry
- Pack a light layer (cardigan, fleece, or windbreaker) even in summer; the wind and spray on open deck can feel cold on a long crossing.
- Shoes take up disproportionate space; one pair of sandals and one pair of walking shoes is sufficient for most island-hopping itineraries.
- Noise from engines and bow waves makes conversation difficult on the outdoor deck when the vessel is at full speed; find a sheltered indoor spot for long conversations.
