Nisyros to Lipsi Route Map
Nisyros to Lipsi takes a little over four hours on Blue Star Ferries' Blue Star Patmos, working north through the Dodecanese with calls along the way. It is a conventional vehicle ferry, so cars and motorbikes travel too. The route passes Kos and Kalymnos, which makes for reasonable views for most of the journey.
Lipsi is a small, quiet island between Leros and Patmos, with a village-y character and a loyal Greek and Italian summer following. The ferry docks in the middle of the main village, so you step off into the heart of things. People come for relaxed swimming, beach-hopping around bays such as Platys Gialos, and unhurried tavernas rather than sights.
Direct sailings are occasional, roughly once a week, so check the days before committing. Current times and fares are shown in the timetable below, with fares starting around €17.50. Local boats also connect Lipsi with Patmos and Leros in season if the direct link does not suit.

Tips for the Nisyros to Lipsi ferry
- In July, the meltemi typically produces its strongest conditions in the open Cyclades, particularly between Mykonos, Paros, and Ios; plan shorter hops in this area.
- On high-speed catamarans, seating is assigned; on conventional ferries it is often open plan – boarding early gives you the best choice of seats.
- Winds above Force 8 will cancel almost all Greek ferry services; in summer these conditions are very unusual but not impossible, especially with deep Mediterranean lows.
- For larger vessels and busy routes, aim to arrive 45–60 minutes early to allow time for vehicle loading queues.
- Fragile items should be wrapped and packed in the centre of your bag, surrounded by soft clothing – baggage handling at ports is not gentle.

Search for a connection between any two Greek ports, including journeys that need a change.
