Symi to Agia Marina Route Map
Symi to Agia Marina on Leros takes just under three hours on the Dodekanisos Express, the Dodekanisos Seaways catamaran that works its way up the Dodecanese. It is a fast craft with airline-style seating rather than a conventional ferry, and it calls at a couple of islands on the way north. That makes it one of the quicker links between the southern and northern Dodecanese.
Agia Marina is one of the two main harbours on Leros and the island's commercial and administrative centre, with a working harbour atmosphere and Italian-era buildings around it. The clocktower and the covered market date from the Italian administration between 1912 and 1943, and that period shapes much of the architecture. Leros is quieter than Kos or Patmos, with calm beaches and a good deal of wartime and Italian history to poke around.
This is one of the more regular Dodekanisos Seaways pairings, running most days in high season. Current departures and fares are shown in the timetable below. Leros's other port, Lakki, handles the large conventional ferries and is a few kilometres away, so check both when planning onward travel.

Tips for the Symi to Agia Marina 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.
- A Force 6 wind produces wave heights of 2–3 metres; even passengers who do not normally feel seasick may be affected in these conditions.
- May is an excellent month to travel the Greek islands by ferry – the sea is calm, the islands are green, and you will rarely struggle to find a seat.
