Tilos to Astypalea Route Map
Tilos to Astypalea is a long westward leg on the Blue Star Ferries network, run by the Blue Star Patmos and taking around six and a half hours. It crosses from the Dodecanese proper out towards the edge of the Cyclades, with island calls on the way. As a conventional ferry there is a restaurant, indoor seating and open deck, which suits a crossing of this length.
Astypalea is butterfly-shaped and feels more Cycladic than Dodecanese, whitewashed and low-key, and popular with Greek travellers. Ferries dock at Skala, or Pera Gialos, just below the Chora, with the Venetian kastro on the hilltop above the town as the island's signature landmark. Beaches are quiet and the pace is slow.
The direct link runs around once a week, so it is worth building an itinerary around rather than leaving to chance. The current timetable and fares are shown below, with fares starting around €12. Astypalea also has an airport with domestic flights, which is often the practical alternative when the ferry pattern does not fit.

Tips for the Tilos to Astypalea ferry
- Booking a multi-leg island-hopping itinerary in one session lets you verify that your connections are realistic before committing.
- Board early to secure a good seat on open-plan ferries – the best spots near windows and on the outside deck fill quickly.
- Book a cabin as early as possible for summer overnight crossings; they sell out well before foot-passenger deck class.
- July and August are the busiest months on almost every Greek ferry route; expect crowded vessels, longer boarding queues, and higher prices.
- Once you arrive in Astypalea, the main town's labyrinth of whitewashed houses, traditional windmills, and blue-domed churches beneath a hilltop Venetian castle make for one of the most photogenic settings in the Aegean. The island also offers miles of unspoiled beaches, with Vatses, Kaminakia, and Livadi among the finest.
