Lipsi to Tilos Route Map
Lipsi to Tilos is a long run south on the Blue Star Patmos, taking around five and three-quarter hours with calls at the larger Dodecanese ports on the way. Tilos sits between Nisyros and Rhodes, and direct sailings from this far north in the chain are unusual, so the timetable rather than preference will decide when you travel.
Ferries dock at Livadia, the island's main village, set around a bay with tavernas and rooms close to the quay. Tilos is among the least developed islands in the Dodecanese and leans into it, with marked hiking trails, good birdwatching, quiet beaches and the Charkadio cave where fossilised dwarf elephant remains were found. The older settlement of Megalo Chorio sits inland, but Livadia is where you arrive and where most people stay.
Direct sailings run only a couple of times a fortnight. Current departures and fares are listed in the table below, from around €23.50. If the dates do not work, Kos and Rhodes both have better connections to Tilos, including the Dodekanisos Seaways catamarans.

Tips for the Lipsi to Tilos ferry
- A lightweight drybag or small tote is handy for beach days on islands – it doubles as your day bag on short crossings when you leave your main bag at the hotel.
- If you feel claustrophobic in enclosed spaces, reserve a window seat or opt for an outdoor berth – the open deck is always available.
- Routes that are seasonal only often have limited or no service in winter; neighbouring islands may require a land or air connection during the closed period.
- The meltemi blows from the north-north-west; routes that run east–west are more exposed than those running north–south along a chain of islands.
- Keep valuables – wallet, passport, phone – in a small day bag you carry on board; never leave them in checked luggage or in your car on the car deck.
