Patmos to Kastellorizo Route Map
Patmos to Megisti, better known as Kastellorizo, is the full run to the far southeastern corner of Greece, around thirteen and a half hours on the Blue Star Patmos. The ship calls at several Dodecanese islands before making the long final leg past Rhodes. It is a genuine sea journey and usually done overnight.
Kastellorizo is Greece's easternmost inhabited island, sitting just off the Turkish coast near Kas. The port town wraps around a small bay in a horseshoe of pastel neoclassical houses, which is the image most people know from the film Mediterraneo. There is little to do beyond eating well by the water and taking a boat out to the Blue Cave, and that is rather the point.
The route runs about once a week and only during the season. Current departures and fares are shown in the table below, starting around thirty one euros. The island also has a small airport with flights via Rhodes, which is the quicker way in or out.

Tips for the Patmos to Kastellorizo ferry
- Seasickness is more common on high-speed catamarans than on conventional ferries – if you are susceptible, take medication 30–60 minutes before boarding.
- If cabins are sold out, reserve an airline-style reclining seat rather than deck class – it is far more comfortable for a full night's crossing.
- If you are joining a longer island-hopping route and not returning to the same base, travel with everything you need from the start – you cannot go back for forgotten items.
