The last known sailing on this route was on 29 October 2026. No timetable beyond that date has been published yet.

Over the last 12 months it ran all year, busiest in September (every other day).

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 Santorini ferry is one of the great Aegean crossings, linking two of the most visited islands in Greece. Rhodes, with its medieval old town and long sandy beaches on the eastern edge of the Dodecanese, sits a world apart from Santorini’s dramatic caldera cliffs and whitewashed villages — yet the ferry makes connecting them straightforward. Whether you’re island-hopping through the Cyclades or heading directly between the two, this route gives you a genuine taste of the open Aegean.

Service runs year-round, which is unusual for a route of this distance and makes it a reliable option even outside the summer season. On average, you can expect around three sailings a week across most of the year.
