Lipsi to Astypalea Route Map
Lipsi to Astypalea heads west out of the main Dodecanese chain on the Dodekanisos Pride, taking around three and three-quarter hours. Astypalea lies out between the Dodecanese and the Cyclades, so the boat leaves the usual north-south route and crosses open water to reach it, which is why direct sailings are scarce.
Arrival is at Skala, also called Pera Gialos, immediately below the Chora, with the Venetian kastro on the ridge above the harbour. Astypalea is whitewashed and quiet, closer to a Cycladic island than a Dodecanese one in appearance, and popular with Greek travellers who want somewhere unhurried. Beaches are easy and low-key, and the Chora is a short climb up from the port.
Direct sailings run only a couple of times a fortnight, so book once you have found a date that works. The current timetable and fares are shown below, from around €44. Kalymnos and Kos both have more regular Astypalea services, and the island has a small airport with domestic flights if the boats do not line up.

Tips for the Lipsi to Astypalea ferry
- Off-peak routes to smaller Dodecanese or northern Aegean islands rarely require advance booking outside of summer – but always confirm seasonal schedules first.
- Some operators offer promotional fares in spring and autumn to fill sailings – worth checking their websites directly if you are travelling outside peak season.
- Prices on Greek ferry routes are generally fixed by the operator – unlike airlines, there is no dynamic pricing that rewards booking at odd hours.
- At ports with multiple berths, check which pier your ferry docks at on arrival – it is not always the same berth every trip.
- Once you arrive in Astypalea, the main town's labyrinth of whitewashed houses, traditional windmills, and blue-domed churches beneath a hilltop Venetian castle make for one of the most photogenic settings in the Aegean. The island also offers miles of unspoiled beaches, with Vatses, Kaminakia, and Livadi among the finest.
