These are the sailings we recorded on this route from November 2025 to October 2026. They show what ran then, not a forecast: timetables change from year to year.
Tilos to Chalki Route Map
Tilos to Chalki is a quick catamaran hop of around thirty-five minutes with Dodekanisos Seaways, using either the Dodekanisos Express or the Dodekanisos Pride. Both are fast craft with enclosed seating and limited outside deck, so it is more of a bus-like transfer than a leisurely sail. At that length there is barely time to settle in before you are alongside.
Chalki is a tiny island just off the west coast of Rhodes, very small and tranquil compared with its big neighbour. Ferries berth at Emborio, effectively the island's only town, where pastel and neoclassical houses ring the small harbour. There is little in the way of sights; people come for quiet beaches and a slow pace.
Sailings run a couple of times a week and are firmly seasonal, so this is one to check rather than assume. The current timetable and fares are shown in the table below, with fares starting around €10. Chalki's other main link is the short crossing to Kamiros Skala on Rhodes, which runs far more often.

Tips for the Tilos to Chalki ferry
- Some ports have a departure tax included in your ticket; others require a separate port fee paid at a booth before boarding – check your booking confirmation.
- Short hops between neighbouring Cyclades islands (e.g. Paros to Naxos, or Naxos to Koufonisi) are an easy way to add variety to your itinerary without long travel days.
- At ports with multiple berths, check which pier your ferry docks at on arrival – it is not always the same berth every trip.
- On routes served by high-speed catamarans, all seats are assigned – choose seats towards the centre of the vessel for the smoothest ride in choppy conditions.
- If you are booking for a large group, call the operator or use their group booking form – online booking systems sometimes cap the number of tickets per transaction.
