The last known sailing on this route was on 30 August 2027.
No timetable beyond that date has been published yet. Greek operators often release the next season’s schedules only a few months ahead, so this can be a seasonal pause rather than the end of the route. Check whether it is currently available to book through Ferryscanner.
Pythagorio to Astypalea is a long run down the Dodecanese with Dodekanisos Seaways on the Dodekanisos Pride, taking around six hours. The catamaran calls at several islands on the way south before striking west to Astypalea, which sits out on its own between the Dodecanese and the Cyclades. It is a full day's travel by fast craft standards.
Astypalea is butterfly-shaped and feels more Cycladic than Dodecanesian, all whitewash and low-key village life. The hilltop Venetian kastro above the Chora overlooks the harbour and is the island's signature landmark. Ferries use Skala, or Pera Gialos, just below the Chora, and the island also has an airport with domestic flights.
This is an infrequent link, running only a couple of times a fortnight, with fares starting around €56. Current sailing days, durations and prices are listed below. Because sailings are sparse, it is worth checking flights via Athens as an alternative when the timetable does not fit.
