Kastellorizo to Kos Route Map
Megisti to Kos takes between roughly six and ten hours depending on which service you take. Blue Star Ferries' Blue Star Patmos is the slower conventional option with more stops, while the Dodekanisos Pride catamaran run by Dodekanisos Seaways covers the same ground faster. Both leave the small harbour at Kastellorizo and work north-west through the Dodecanese.
Kos is a large, lively island close to the Turkish coast near Bodrum, with beach resorts, nightlife and family tourism alongside a serious archaeological record. Ferries dock in Kos Town, right beside the medieval Castle of the Knights, which is the first thing you see from the water. The island is flat enough to cycle across, and the Asklepieion, the ancient healing sanctuary, is a short ride inland.
Sailings on this pairing run two or three times a week between the two operators, so there is a little more choice here than on other Kastellorizo routes. Current departures and fares are shown in the timetable below, with fares from around €27.50. Kos has an international airport and is one of the main Dodecanese hubs, so onward connections are easy once you arrive.

Hiring a car
Can you rent a car in Kos?
Yes. The ferry port sits right in Kos Town, about 2km from the centre, a 20-25 minute walk or five-minute drive, with rental desks nearby. Buses run regularly between the main towns but thin out fast once you leave them, so a car is worth it if you want to reach the Asclepion, Mount Dikeos villages or the quieter beaches.

Tips for the Kastellorizo to Kos ferry
- Ticket prices on some routes include a mandatory port surcharge; on others it is separate – the checkout total will clarify this before you pay.
- Set two alarms for your disembarkation – one 45 minutes before arrival and one 20 minutes before. Missing your island on an overnight ferry is a serious inconvenience.
- In Kos, ancient history and beach life sit side by side – the Tree of Hippocrates in Kos Town is said to be the very spot where the father of medicine taught, while the nearby Asklepion was one of antiquity's most important healing sanctuaries. The island's long sandy beaches and flat terrain, ideal for cycling, make it one of the most accessible of the Dodecanese.
