Kastellorizo to Chalki Route Map
Megisti to Chalki takes anywhere from under four hours to nearly eight, depending on whether you travel on the Dodekanisos Pride catamaran run by Dodekanisos Seaways or the Stavros operated by SAOS Ferries. Both leave Kastellorizo and head west past Rhodes to the small harbour at Emborio. The catamaran is the quicker of the two and the conventional ship the more comfortable for a long sitting.
Chalki is a tiny island just off the west coast of Rhodes, tranquil and largely undeveloped. Emborio, the harbour and effectively the island's only settlement, is lined with pastel neoclassical houses and is small enough to cross on foot in minutes. Most visitors come for quiet beaches and the slow pace, either as a day trip from Rhodes or for a longer stay.
The route runs a couple of times a week, so it needs to be planned around rather than assumed. Current days, times and fares are in the timetable below, with fares starting around €63. Chalki's most frequent link is the short crossing to Kamiros Skala on Rhodes, which runs several times a day in season.

Tips for the Kastellorizo to Chalki ferry
- 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.
- On multi-day island-hopping trips, the ferry becomes a mobile base – use the time on board to research your next stop, review maps, and plan the next day.
- If you need an invoice for business travel, request it at the time of booking – it is much harder to obtain after the journey.
- In high summer, the ferry's snack bar and cafeteria can sell out of cold drinks by mid-crossing on busy routes; buy your drinks early after boarding.
- Very calm sea conditions – glassy water and no swell – are common in early June and late September. These are the most comfortable times to cross the open Aegean.
