Nisyros to Kamari is a short local crossing of around forty minutes on Star Gem Maritime's Panagia Evagelistria. It is a small vessel on a modest run, more shuttle than voyage, and best treated as a foot-passenger service. On a calm day the deck gives good views back to Nisyros and its volcanic profile.
Kamari sits at the western end of Kos, near Kefalos, and is a low-key coastal spot rather than a major resort. It works as a base for the beaches along that stretch of coast and as a jumping-off point for Kastri islet and the ruins at Agios Stefanos nearby. The harbour is local in scale, so expect a small landing rather than a big ferry terminal.
Sailings run several times a week through the season. Current departure times and fares are shown in the timetable below. Kamari is a fair drive from Kos Town and the airport, so factor in road transfer time if you are connecting onwards.
