Lipsi to Kastellorizo Route Map
Lipsi to Megisti, better known as Kastellorizo, is the longest ferry leg in the Dodecanese, running about twelve and three-quarter hours on the Blue Star Patmos. The ship works its way down the entire chain before the final open-water stretch east past Rhodes, so treat it as a full day at sea and plan for meals and a seat accordingly.
Kastellorizo is Greece's easternmost inhabited island, sitting just off the Turkish coast opposite Kas. The port town wraps around a small bay in a horseshoe of pastel neoclassical houses, familiar to many from the film Mediterraneo. There is little to do beyond eating well by the water and taking a boat out to the Blue Cave, which is rather the point of the place.
Sailings run only a couple of times a fortnight given the distance involved, so dates matter more than usual here. The current timetable and fares appear in the table below, with tickets from around €24.50. Most travellers reach Kastellorizo from Rhodes, either by the shorter ferry or by the short flight, and the island is also served by excursion boats from Kas.
