Mytilini to Kavala Route Map
Mytilini to Kavala runs north from Lesvos to the mainland coast of eastern Macedonia, taking a little under ten hours. Blue Star Ferries and Hellenic Seaways both work the route, with the Diagoras and the Nissos Samos, usually calling at Limnos on the way. These are conventional car ferries with cabins and full facilities, and the sailing is often overnight.
Kavala is a historic port city built up the slope above its harbour, with the Panagia old town and its Ottoman era houses on the headland and the Kamares aqueduct striding across the town below. It has a castle at the top of the old town and an airport of its own, and the archaeological site at Philippi is a short drive inland. Most travellers passing through are heading either to Thassos or west along the coast.
The route runs three or four times a week, which gives some flexibility without being frequent. Current schedules and fares are listed below. Kavala is the departure point for the short crossing to Thassos, also served from Keramoti nearby, and has good road links to Thessaloniki.

Tips for the Mytilini to Kavala ferry
- If you are island-hopping across multiple islands, pack light – you will be lifting your bag on and off ferries, into overhead racks, and up and down steps repeatedly.
- If you are connecting to another ferry on the same day, check whether both depart from the same area of the port to gauge how much walking time you need.
- Entertainment on overnight ferries is limited – bring a book, download a podcast series, or load your phone with films before you travel.
- Keep valuables – wallet, passport, phone – in a small day bag you carry on board; never leave them in checked luggage or in your car on the car deck.
