Lipsi to Agios Kirykos Route Map
Lipsi to Agios Kirykos on Ikaria crosses northwest out of the Dodecanese into the North Aegean, taking about an hour and twenty minutes on the Dodekanisos Pride and closer to two and three-quarter hours on the Blue Star Patmos. It is one of the few direct links between the two island groups, and useful for anyone joining a Dodecanese trip to Ikaria, Fourni and Samos without doubling back.
Agios Kirykos is Ikaria's capital and main port, a workaday harbour town rather than a polished resort, which suits the island's general refusal to be hurried. The thermal spa facilities near the harbour draw on Ikaria's radioactive hot springs, used since antiquity. The island's reputation as a Blue Zone for longevity is the thing most visitors have heard about, and the unhurried pace behind it is real enough once you are there.
Sailings run a few times a fortnight, so this needs fitting to the timetable rather than assumed. Current departures, vessels and fares are shown below, with tickets from around €8.50. Note that Ikaria has a second port at Evdilos on the north coast, used by some routes instead of Agios Kirykos, so check which one your onward ferry serves.

Tips for the Lipsi to Agios Kirykos ferry
- Port information boards are usually updated in real time; check them on arrival to confirm your vessel is on schedule.
- Overhead racks inside the ferry fill quickly; placing your bag early and then exploring the vessel is more practical than searching for storage after the fact.
- A portable power bank is one of the most useful things to carry – reliable mains power is not guaranteed on any vessel.
- The Cyclades are more exposed to the meltemi than the Dodecanese, which are sheltered by the Turkish coast – a relevant factor when comparing summer sea conditions.
