Tips for the Rhodes–Agathonisi Ferry
- Travelling in the shoulder season also means shorter queues at island attractions – the ferry journey is just one part of a more relaxed overall experience.
- Economy deck class is the cheapest option and perfectly comfortable on short crossings – you have access to indoor seating, outside decks, and all onboard facilities.
- Prices on Greek ferry routes are generally fixed by the operator – unlike airlines, there is no dynamic pricing that rewards booking at odd hours.
- In Agathonisi, you’ll discover a tranquil and largely unspoiled island at the northernmost point of the Dodecanese, home to just two inland villages – Megalo Chorio and Mikro Chorio. Look out for the 11th-century stone-built domed structures beside the church of Agios Nikolaos, which once served as food warehouses.
