Ferry from Syros (Ermoupoli) to Evdilos (Ikaria)

Syros to Evdilos takes a little over three hours on the Blue Star Myconos, a conventional ferry working the line that connects the Cyclades with the eastern Aegean. It is a comfortable enough crossing with indoor seating and open decks, and it puts Ikaria within reach of the Cyclades without going back through Piraeus. The ship continues onward, so keep an eye on announcements as Evdilos is a brief call.

Evdilos is Ikaria's northern port, a laid-back harbour town set beneath a hillside of white and pastel houses. It is the arrival point for the north of the island, with access to the mountain villages, beaches and walking that Ikaria is known for, plus the slow-living reputation that gave the island its Blue Zone label. Agios Kirykos, the capital, is on the other side of the island and served by different routes.

The route runs around four times a week in season, and the current timetable and fares are shown below. Deck fares start around €16. Check which Ikarian port your accommodation is nearer before booking, because crossing the island takes a while on mountain roads.

Hiring a car

Can you rent a car in Syros?

Yes, and rental desks cluster right in Ermoupoli, a short walk from where the ferry docks. Syros Town itself is easily walkable, but a car earns its keep for reaching Kini, Galissas and Poseidonia beaches, each 8-10km away on the other side of the island.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tips for the Syros to Evdilos ferry

• The ferry quay sits right in Ermoupoli town centre, close to hotels, cafés and the bus station, so you can walk to most accommodation. In peak summer, arrive at least an hour early, or 60–90 minutes if you're bringing a car.
• There's no single ferry ticket office at the port – tickets are issued by several independent travel agencies clustered near the harbour, so check your booking confirmation for pickup details rather than expecting one terminal counter.
• A taxi rank is around 100 metres from the quay, but ranks empty fast in August, so pre-book a taxi or arrange a hotel transfer in advance rather than relying on hailing one on arrival.
• Snacks in your bag reduce dependency on the onboard cafeteria and save money – nuts, crackers, fruit, and chocolate travel well.
• 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.
