Mytilini to Thessaloniki Route Map
Mytilini to Thessaloniki is the full length of the North Aegean line, run by Blue Star Ferries with the Diagoras. It takes around thirteen hours, working north past Lemnos before turning west into the Thermaic Gulf. This is an overnight sailing on a conventional car ferry, with cabins, seating lounges and a restaurant on board.
Thessaloniki is Greece's second city and the main port of the north, with the ferry terminal close to the waterfront and within reach of the centre on foot or by a short taxi ride. It is a proper city arrival rather than an island one, with a railway station, an international airport and long distance bus links in every direction.
Sailings are roughly weekly, so this is a route that has to be planned around rather than picked up casually. The current timetable and fares are shown below. If the day does not work, the more frequent alternative is to sail as far as Kavala and continue west by road.

- Smoking is permitted only in designated outdoor areas at the stern; the rules are enforced more strictly on newer vessels.
- If you are joining a longer island-hopping route and not returning to the same base, travel with everything you need from the start – you cannot go back for forgotten items.
- Wi-Fi is available on board many Greek ferries but is often slow and unreliable; download maps, podcasts, and entertainment before you board.
- Padlocking your main bag adds a layer of deterrence against opportunistic interference even though it is not a guarantee of security.
