Kastellorizo to Astypalea Route Map
Megisti to Astypalea is a long overnight run of roughly fourteen hours on Blue Star Ferries' Blue Star Patmos. The ship leaves Kastellorizo in the far south-east and works north-west through the Dodecanese before the crossing to Astypalea, which sits out on the western edge of the group. A cabin is worth having, and the ferry has lounges and deck space for the daylight part of the passage.
Astypalea is butterfly-shaped and feels more Cycladic than Dodecanese, whitewashed and low-key, and popular with Greeks looking for somewhere unspoiled. Ferries dock at Skala, also called Pera Gialos, directly below the Chora, and the Venetian kastro on the hilltop above is the island's signature sight. Beaches are quiet and the pace is slow even in August.
Sailings run roughly once a week on this pairing, so it is a route to build the trip around. The current timetable and fares are shown below, with fares starting around €33. Astypalea also has a small airport with domestic flights, and ferry links west to the Cyclades and east to Kos.

Tips for the Kastellorizo to Astypalea ferry
- Economy deck class is the cheapest option and perfectly comfortable on short crossings – you have access to indoor seating, outside decks, and all onboard facilities.
- On quieter routes outside peak season, booking a day or two ahead is usually sufficient and gives you the flexibility to adjust plans.
- Ferry cancellations are announced on the operator's website and app, and also through the Hellenic Coast Guard (limenarxeio) at the departure port.
- Stray cats are a common sight at Greek ports and on ferries – they are generally harmless but avoid feeding them as it encourages large numbers to gather.
- 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.
