Mytilini to Patmos Route Map
Mytilini to Patmos is a long southbound leg of the Blue Star Ferries line, worked by the Diagoras, with calls at Chios and Samos on the way. Sailing times run from roughly ten to around thirteen hours depending on the routing, so this is an overnight crossing in practice. Cabins are available and worth taking on a run this length.
Patmos is a Dodecanese island whose port and main settlement is Skala, with the hilltop Chora above it. The fortified Monastery of St John the Theologian crowns the ridge above the harbour, and the Cave of the Apocalypse sits on the road between the port and the Chora. The historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and development on the island has stayed unusually restrained as a result.
Sailings run a couple of times a week, so this is a route to plan around. The current timetable and fares are shown below. From Skala there are regular onward connections through the Dodecanese to Leros, Kalymnos, Kos and Rhodes.

Tips for the Mytilini to Patmos ferry
- On routes where two or more operators compete, compare prices and journey times – the price difference for vehicles can be particularly significant.
- 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.
- On quieter routes outside peak season, booking a day or two ahead is usually sufficient and gives you the flexibility to adjust plans.
- Once you arrive in Patmos, the UNESCO-protected old town of Hora and the imposing Monastery of Saint John the Theologian – built in the 11th century – dominate the hilltop above the port. The Cave of the Apocalypse, where Saint John is said to have written the Book of Revelation, is one of the most important Christian pilgrimage sites in the world.
