Ferry from Patmos (Skala) to Agathonissi

Patmos to Agathonissi runs from about forty five minutes on the Dodekanisos Seaways catamarans to nearly three hours on the slower SAOS vessel Saonisos, which calls at Arki and Lipsi along the way. It is a short distance covered at very different speeds. The smaller boats feel their age in a swell, which is part of the character of travel up here.

Agathonissi is one of the least visited inhabited islands in Greece, a quiet place of a few dozen residents just off the Turkish coast. The port and main settlement, Agios Georgios, is a small fishing harbour with a handful of tavernas and rooms. There is nothing to see in the conventional sense, which is precisely the appeal.

Sailings run several times a week in season and much less often in winter, so plan the return at the same time as the arrival. Current departures and fares are shown in the table below, starting around €6.60. Almost all connections onward from Agathonissi run back through Patmos or down to Leros and Kalymnos.
