Kastellorizo to Tilos Route Map
Megisti to Tilos takes between about four and a half and seven and a half hours, with the Dodekanisos Pride catamaran from Dodekanisos Seaways quicker than Blue Star Ferries' Blue Star Patmos. Both work west and north from Kastellorizo through the southern Dodecanese, calling at other islands on the way. The Blue Star ship is the more comfortable option for a long daytime run.
Ferries dock at Livadia, the port and principal village of Tilos, set around a wide bay with the settlement right behind the quay. Tilos is one of the least developed islands in the Dodecanese and has made a point of its eco-conscious approach, with marked walking trails, good birdwatching and quiet beaches. The older village of Megalo Chorio sits inland, and the Charkadio cave, where fossilised dwarf elephants were found, is nearby.
The pairing runs two or three times a week between the two operators, so dates matter more than times. Current sailings and fares are listed in the timetable below, with fares starting around €23. Tilos connects onward to Nisyros, Kos and Rhodes on the same services.

Tips for the Kastellorizo to Tilos ferry
- Music and noise levels in the cafeteria area on summer ferries can be high; move to the outer deck or a quieter interior lounge if you need to rest.
- Reclining seats in the standard passenger class are comfortable enough for a 3–4 hour nap; bring a small travel pillow and a light blanket.
- Pets travel in a dedicated area on most Greek ferries; book your pet's space when you book your own ticket as places are limited.
- 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.
