Pythagorio to Agathonisi Route Map

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

Pythagorio to Agathonisi 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.

Agathonisi 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 Agathonisi ferry

  • The sirocco (southerly warm wind from North Africa) brings haze and uncomfortable heat to Greek ports in late spring and early summer; it rarely lasts more than a day or two.
  • Some operators allow seat upgrades at the port ticket desk if higher classes have not sold out – worth asking if you arrive early.
  • Off-peak routes to smaller Dodecanese or northern Aegean islands rarely require advance booking outside of summer – but always confirm seasonal schedules first.
