These are the sailings we recorded on this route from November 2025 to October 2026. They show what ran then, not a forecast: timetables change from year to year.

The Rhodes to Astypalea ferry route links one of the Aegean’s most visited islands with one of its most rewarding escapes. Astypalea sits at the western edge of the Dodecanese, butterfly-shaped and unhurried, and the ferry from Rhodes is your gateway to it. The route runs from March through to October, making it a genuine seasonal connection rather than a year-round one.

During the season you can expect one or two sailings a week, though sailing days are limited — see the at-a-glance box above for the days — so timing your trip to fit the schedule is essential.
