Symi to Agathonissi Route Map
Symi to Agathonissi takes about four and a half hours on the Dodekanisos Express, the Dodekanisos Seaways catamaran that runs up the Dodecanese chain. It is a fast craft with airline-style seating and calls at several islands on the way north, so the journey comes in short stages. Deck access is limited compared with a conventional ferry.
Agathonissi is a tiny island near the Turkish coast north of Patmos and one of the least visited inhabited islands in Greece. Boats dock at Agios Georgios, a small fishing harbour with a handful of tavernas and rooms and not much else. People come for the solitude, the simple village life and the unspoiled coves rather than for sights.
The route runs a couple of times a week, which is typical for an island this small, so dates need to line up. Current sailings and fares are shown in the timetable below, with fares from around €41. Patmos and Samos are the nearest places with more frequent onward connections.

Tips for the Symi to Agathonissi ferry
- Symi's harbour has two separate docking points: Dodekanisos Seaways catamarans use the clock tower, while larger conventional ferries dock at the New Port, a shadeless 15-minute walk away with no shops or taxis – confirm which one applies before you set off.
- Buy or confirm ferry tickets at the Symi Tours office on the harbour front, the long-standing general agent for Dodekanisos Seaways and Blue Star Ferries, rather than assuming online booking alone will guarantee your allocated departure point.
- Don't confuse the scheduled Dodekanisos Seaways or ANES catamarans with the organised day-trip excursion boats from Rhodes, which fill the harbour around midday and typically call passengers back for a fixed afternoon return sailing.
- Flexible or open tickets allow you to travel on any sailing within a validity window; useful for island-hopping itineraries when you are not certain of your schedule.
- Student discounts exist on many Greek ferry routes; carry your student card and select the correct fare category when booking.
