These are the sailings we recorded on this route from October 2025 to September 2026. They show what ran then, not a forecast: timetables change from year to year.
Mastichari to Kalymnos is the workhorse short crossing of the central Dodecanese, taking half an hour to three quarters of an hour depending on the boat. ANEM S.A. and Lafasi run it with small local vessels including Hlias T. and Olympios Zeus. It is a quick, functional hop rather than a scenic voyage, and the boats take cars and bikes as well as foot passengers.
Ferries arrive at Pothia, the capital and main port of Kalymnos on the island's south coast. Sponge shops and workshops near the harbour are a reminder of the island's diving heritage, and the town has a rugged, working character quite unlike resort-focused Kos. Kalymnos is best known internationally for rock climbing, with the limestone crags around Masouri drawing climbers through spring and autumn.
This is by far the most frequent link on the pairing, running several times a day right through the season. Current departure times and fares are shown in the timetable below. Mastichari sits on the north coast of Kos with easy road connections to Kos Town and the airport, which makes this a common route for anyone flying into Kos and staying on Kalymnos.

Tips for the Mastichari to Kalymnos ferry
- A Force 6 wind produces wave heights of 2–3 metres; even passengers who do not normally feel seasick may be affected in these conditions.
- Standing at the bow for a short crossing gives you an unobstructed view and feels very different from sitting inside – worth it on a calm day.
- Confirmation emails sometimes contain a QR code for faster boarding – screenshotting this and zooming in before you reach the scanner saves time at the gate.
- In Kalymnos, world-class rock climbing routes in the island's limestone cliffs have made it a magnet for climbers from across Europe, while the sheltered pebbly beach of Vlychadia and other coastal spots offer superb swimming. The island also has a deep tradition as a sponge-diving centre, which still shapes its culture today.
