Rhodes to Pythagorio Route Map
Rhodes to Pythagorio is a full day at sea, run by Dodekanisos Seaways with the Dodekanisos Pride. The sailing takes around ten hours, working north through the Dodecanese with calls at islands along the chain before reaching the south coast of Samos. Fares start around fifty nine euros.
Pythagorio is a small, pretty harbour town on the south coast of Samos, named after Pythagoras, who was born on the island. It is more relaxed than Vathy, the island's main port, with a yacht and fishing harbour overlooked by Logothetis Castle. The ancient Heraion temple site and the Eupalinos tunnel, a UNESCO-listed ancient aqueduct cut straight through a hill, are both close by.
Sailings here are limited, roughly one a week, and ferry links from Pythagorio in general are thinner than from Vathy. Current departures and fares are shown in the table below. If the timings do not fit, Vathy on the north coast of Samos has considerably more traffic.

Hiring a car
Can you rent a car in Pythagorio?
Yes, several agencies have offices right in Pythagorio, and more are based just 3km away at Samos airport on the same south coast, about a 10-minute taxi ride apart. A car is worth having to reach the north coast and inland villages, since bus coverage on Samos is limited outside the main towns. Compare local prices at Discover Cars.
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 Pythagorio 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.
- Cabin toiletries are minimal or absent on Greek ferries; bring everything you need for the night.
- On multi-stop overnight routes, the vessel may briefly dock at intermediate islands during the night; light sleepers may notice the engines slowing.
