The last known sailing on this route was on 22 October 2026.
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.
Rhodes to Arki is about as far up the Dodecanese chain as a single sailing goes, run by Dodekanisos Seaways with the Dodekanisos Pride. The journey takes around eight and a half hours, calling at most of the islands between the two, so it is more a full day of island-hopping than a point-to-point crossing. Fares start around fifty four euros.
Arki is a tiny island north of Lipsi with a very small permanent population, a single harbour settlement and almost nothing in the way of tourist infrastructure. Facilities are minimal, so anyone stopping should assume limited accommodation and few shops, and plan supplies accordingly.
This runs roughly once a week, which makes it a route to check carefully rather than count on. Current departures, journey times and fares are listed in the table below. Most travellers reach Arki via Patmos, Lipsi or Leros, all of which are far better connected and closer, so it is worth looking at those as staging points.
