Pythagorio to Agathonissi Route Map

Map of the Aegean showing the ferry route south from Pythagorio to Agathonissi.

Pythagorio to Agathonissi is the shortest crossing from Samos into the Dodecanese, taking around thirty-five minutes on the Dodekanisos Seaways catamaran Dodekanisos Pride and a little over an hour on SAOS Ferries' Saonisos. The island lies just south of Samos and close to the Turkish coast, so the ships are barely out of sight of land. It is a short, straightforward hop.

Agathonissi is one of the least-visited inhabited Greek islands, small and almost entirely undeveloped. The port and main settlement, Agios Georgios, is a fishing harbour with a handful of tavernas and not much else. Visitors come for solitude, simple village life and quiet coves rather than for anything to see.

Sailings run most days in season, with fares starting around €6.10, but services to small islands like this thin out sharply outside the summer and are the first to be cancelled in rough weather. The current timetable and prices are shown below. Patmos, a short hop further south, is the nearest island with a full range of accommodation and onward connections.

Hiring a car

Can you rent a car in Pythagorio?

Yes, several agencies have offices right in Pythagorio, and more are based just 3km away at Samos airport on the same south coast, about a 10-minute taxi ride apart. A car is worth having to reach the north coast and inland villages, since bus coverage on Samos is limited outside the main towns. Compare local prices at Discover Cars.

Tips for the Pythagorio to Agathonissi ferry

  • A wide-brimmed hat provides better sun protection than a baseball cap on the open deck of a moving ferry, where the sun comes from multiple angles.
  • Washing clothes at island laundries (found on almost every inhabited island) means you can travel with less; a 3–4 day supply of clothing is usually enough.
  • Shoes take up disproportionate space; one pair of sandals and one pair of walking shoes is sufficient for most island-hopping itineraries.
