Lipsi to Leros Route Map

Map of the Dodecanese showing the ferry route south-south-east from Lipsi to Leros.

Lipsi to Leros is a forty-minute crossing on the Blue Star Patmos, one of the shortest legs the ship makes anywhere on its Dodecanese run. It is a straightforward hop between neighbouring islands, and the main thing to note is that this particular service uses Lakki rather than Agia Marina.

Lakki is Leros's main ferry port and is unlike any other harbour in Greece: a planned 1930s town built during the Italian administration, with sweeping Art Deco and Rationalist buildings around a broad bay. The island itself is quiet and understated, popular with travellers after a less commercial Dodecanese experience, with the hilltop Castle of Panteli above the village of the same name. The older main town, Platanos, and the beach village of Agia Marina are both a short drive from the port.

The Blue Star direct sailing runs only a couple of times a fortnight, so check dates carefully. Current departures and fares are shown in the table below, with tickets from around €5. Dodekanisos Seaways and the local boats run far more often between Lipsi and Agia Marina on the other side of the island, which is the usual way of making this crossing.

Tips for the Lipsi to Leros ferry

  • On a rough crossing, the best strategy is to fix your gaze on the horizon, breathe slowly, and avoid reading or looking at screens.
  • Most ferries have a small kiosk selling souvenirs, snacks, and basic travel items; useful if you have forgotten sunscreen or earplugs.
  • If you are travelling with young children, bring their identity documents; crew are required to check ID for all passengers regardless of age.
  • In an emergency, follow crew instructions immediately; the muster stations are marked on deck plans posted in corridors and at cabin doors.
  • 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.
