Rhodes to Agios Kirykos Route Map
Rhodes to Agios Kirykos is a long northwesterly run up the Aegean, operated by Blue Star Ferries with the Blue Star Patmos. The sailing takes around twelve hours, working its way up the Dodecanese chain before crossing towards Ikaria. Fares start around fifty five euros and this is a conventional ferry with seating, cabins and a canteen aboard.
Agios Kirykos is the capital and main port of Ikaria, an unpretentious, workaday harbour town rather than a resort. Ikaria is best known as one of the world's Blue Zones, with a reputation for longevity and a famously unhurried approach to time, and the town has thermal spa facilities near the harbour tied to the island's hot springs. Note that Ikaria has a second port at Evdilos on the north coast, used by some other routes.
This sails roughly once a week, so it is very much a planned leg rather than a casual connection. Current departures and fares are shown in the table below. From Ikaria there are onward links to Samos, Fourni, the Cyclades and Piraeus.

Hiring a car
Is it worth hiring a car in Rhodes?
Worth it if you're staying more than a couple of days, since the island is large and its two bus companies (Roda in the west, KTEL in the east) don't make it easy to combine both coasts in a day. The port is a 10-minute walk from Rhodes Old Town, with paid parking nearby. Compare local suppliers at Discover Cars.

Tips for the Rhodes to Agios Kirykos ferry
- Rhodes has two separate ferry ports: large car ferries such as Blue Star Ferries use Akandia, while Dodekanisos Seaways catamarans and small boats to Symi depart from Kolona, just outside the Old Town walls – check your ticket for the correct one.
- Akandia port is roughly a 20-minute walk from the Old Town and has no shelter, seating or toilets while you wait, so it is more comfortable to wait in town and take a taxi straight to your ferry.
- Arrive at least one hour before departure to allow time to check in, since boarding for ferries from Rhodes typically closes around 20 minutes before the scheduled sailing time.
- Campervans and motorhomes require a dedicated vehicle category when booking; standard car prices do not apply and spaces are limited.
- On quieter routes outside peak season, booking a day or two ahead is usually sufficient and gives you the flexibility to adjust plans.
