Mytilini to Leros Route Map
Mytilini to Leros is one of the longest single legs on the Blue Star Ferries eastern Aegean line, taking between roughly twelve and thirteen and a half hours on the Diagoras. The ship calls at Chios, Samos and Patmos on the way south, which accounts for the spread in journey times. It is a conventional car ferry with cabins, so an overnight sailing is manageable.
The ferry port on Leros is Lakki, a deep natural harbour lined with 1930s Italian Rationalist buildings that give arrivals an unusual look for the Aegean. Lakki is separate from Platanos, the island's older main town, and from the beach village of Agia Marina, both a short drive away. Leros is quiet and low key, with the hilltop Castle of Panteli above Platanos and little in the way of package tourism.
The route runs a couple of times a week, so the sailing date is the main constraint. Current schedules and fares are shown below. From Lakki there are frequent onward links within the Dodecanese to Kalymnos, Kos and Rhodes, plus local boats to Patmos and Lipsi.

Tips for the Mytilini to Leros ferry
- Boarding order on most ferries is: vehicles first, then foot passengers – foot passengers are usually called to board 15–20 minutes before departure.
- Cable or combination luggage locks sold at airports offer minimal real security but do deter casual interference; a proper padlock is better.
- Port information boards are usually updated in real time; check them on arrival to confirm your vessel is on schedule.
- If you are booking for a large group, call the operator or use their group booking form – online booking systems sometimes cap the number of tickets per transaction.
- Watch for swell forecasts as well as wind speed – residual swell from a previous day's storm can make a crossing rough even when current wind is light.
