Patmos to Lipsi Route Map
Patmos to Lipsi is the easiest hop in the northern Dodecanese, twenty minutes or so on the fast boats and up to an hour and a half on the conventional ferries. Blue Star Ferries, Dodekanisos Seaways, SAOS Ferries and the local Patmos Star all cover it. With sailings spread through the day it works well as a day trip in either direction.
Lipsi is a small, low key island between Patmos and Leros, popular with Greek and Italian summer visitors and quiet the rest of the year. The ferry docks in the middle of the main village, so you step off the boat straight into town. Beaches such as Platys Gialos are a short ride away, and the church of Agios Ioannis Theologos in the village holds the Panagia tou Harou icon.
There are usually several sailings a day in season, dropping to a handful a week in winter. The current timetable and fares are shown in the table below, starting around €4.80. Lipsi also connects onward to Leros, Arki and Agathonissi on the same local services.

- Pack a light layer (cardigan, fleece, or windbreaker) even in summer; the wind and spray on open deck can feel cold on a long crossing.
- Non-EU passengers should ensure their passport has sufficient remaining validity; crew do occasionally check at embarkation.
- On rough crossings, secure your belongings before leaving your seat – bags and bottles slide off tables easily, and wet floors make a spill a hazard.
