Ferry from Skyros to Kymi

Skyros to Kymi takes a little under two hours on the Achilleas, leaving Linaria on the island's west coast and crossing to Evia. It is the island's only regular ferry link, so it carries everything from foot passengers to lorries. Open water most of the way, and it can be choppy in a strong meltemi.

The boat docks at Paralia Kymis, the port below the hilltop town of Kymi on Evia's east coast. It is a modest place, more agricultural town than resort, and the port and the town proper sit a few kilometres apart. Buses meet arrivals for the road journey on to Athens, which takes several hours.

There are typically two or three departures a day in high season and fewer in winter; the timetable and current fares appear below. Anyone driving on should allow time, since Kymi is a fair way from the main highways.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tips for the Skyros to Kymi ferry

• Greek ferries are generally safe and well-maintained; life jacket locations are posted throughout the vessel and a safety briefing sheet is usually displayed in cabins.
• Onboard announcements are made in Greek first and English second; if you miss the English version, ask a fellow passenger what was said.
• If you are comparing ferry versus flying between islands, factor in port transfer times at each end – ferries are often more time-efficient for short hops.
• The meltemi typically peaks in the afternoons and can create significant swell; afternoon departures from exposed ports are more likely to be rough.
