Nisyros to Agios Kirykos Route Map
Nisyros to Agios Kirykos on Ikaria is a long northbound leg of around seven and a half hours on Blue Star Ferries' Blue Star Patmos. The ship works its way up through the Dodecanese before crossing into the North Aegean, which accounts for the timing. It is a conventional vehicle ferry with indoor seating and open decks for the duration.
Agios Kirykos is Ikaria's capital and main port, an unpretentious harbour town rather than a resort. Thermal spa facilities near the waterfront draw on the island's long-standing hot springs tradition. Ikaria itself is known for a famously relaxed pace of life and its reputation as a Blue Zone where residents live unusually long.
Sailings are rare on this pairing, roughly once a week, so it needs planning well ahead. Current days, times and fares are shown in the timetable below. Ikaria also has a second port at Evdilos on the north coast, used by other routes, so check which one your ticket names.

Tips for the Nisyros to Agios Kirykos ferry
- Some routes in the Dodecanese chain only operate in full summer mode from June; May sailings may be less frequent than the website implies.
- If cabins are sold out, reserve an airline-style reclining seat rather than deck class – it is far more comfortable for a full night's crossing.
- Return tickets on the same operator are sometimes cheaper than two separate one-way fares – compare both options before confirming.
