Mytilini to Psara Route Map
Mytilini to Psara takes around seven hours with Hellenic Seaways on the Nissos Samos, heading south and west from Lesvos into open water. It is a leg of the wider North Aegean line rather than a dedicated service, so the ship may call elsewhere en route. The Nissos Samos is a conventional car ferry with seating lounges, a restaurant and open deck.
Psara is a small, rugged island west of Chios, sparsely populated and among the least visited in the Aegean. The harbour town, also Psara, has a modest waterfront with a few tavernas and a monument to the island's history. It is best known for its part in the 1824 Greek War of Independence, and the place still feels stark and unpolished.
Sailings run a couple of times a week, so this route rewards planning. Current timings and fares are shown in the table below. Psara is more frequently reached from Chios, which has its own dedicated local ferry, so that is worth comparing if the direct sailing does not fit.
