Patmos to Leros Route Map
Patmos to Leros takes around an hour on the faster Blue Star sailings and up to an hour and a half on the slower ones, with Blue Star Ferries and Superfast Ferries between them running the Blue Star 2, Blue Star Patmos, Diagoras and Lefka Ori. Some services call at Lipsi in between. It is a short, reliable leg of the main Dodecanese line.
Leros is a quiet, understated island with an unusual architectural character, thanks to the Italian occupation of the early twentieth century. The ferry port at Lakki is lined with striking 1930s Italian Rationalist and Art Deco buildings, unlike anything else in the Aegean. The older main town, Platanos, and the beach village of Agia Marina are a short drive away, below the hilltop Castle of Pandeli.
Sailings run most days, often more than once. Live departures and fares are shown in the table below, starting around €6.30. Leros has a small airport with domestic flights and good onward ferry links to Kalymnos and Kos.

Hiring a car
Do you need a car in Patmos?
Not essential, but useful if you want to reach quieter beaches beyond Chora and Grikos at your own pace. Rental desks sit right at Skala port, and buses from the same stop run to Chora, Grikos and Kambos around six times a day, with taxis filling the gaps. Roads are well maintained and quiet, so driving is easy. Compare suppliers at Discover Cars.

Tips for the Patmos to Leros ferry
- The ship's tannoy system uses a chime before announcements; listen for the three-tone signal that precedes important information about arrivals or delays.
- Senior discounts are offered by several operators for passengers over 65; the discount is applied automatically if you select the correct age category.
- Cable or combination luggage locks sold at airports offer minimal real security but do deter casual interference; a proper padlock is better.
- Carry a smaller day bag separately from your main luggage: this holds your passport, wallet, phone, charger, sunscreen, and anything else you need during the crossing.
- When travelling with a motorcycle, book and pay for the vehicle space at the same time as your passenger ticket – vehicle spaces can sell out separately.
