Vathy to Agios Kirykos Route Map
Vathy to Agios Kirykos takes around two and three quarter hours on Blue Star Ferries' Diagoras. The route runs west from the main Samian port to the south coast of Ikaria. It is a conventional ferry working a longer line, so the crossing is short by its standards and generally comfortable.
Agios Kirykos is Ikaria's capital and main port, an unfussy working harbour town rather than a resort. Thermal spa facilities near the harbour draw on the island's long-standing hot-springs tradition. Ikaria is best known for its slow, unbothered way of life and its standing as a Blue Zone where people live unusually long.
The link runs only a couple of times a fortnight from Vathy, with fares starting around €9. Current departures and prices are shown below. Sailings from Karlovassi, on the north coast of Samos, are more frequent, and Ikaria's other port at Evdilos is worth checking if you are heading for the north of the island.

Tips for the Vathy to Agios Kirykos ferry
- Never put valuables (passport, wallet, phone, camera, medication) in your main luggage – keep them in your day bag on your person at all times.
- When boarding is announced, move promptly – gangways can be crowded and ferries do occasionally depart a minute or two early once all vehicles are loaded.
- Photography from the deck is excellent – the golden hour light on island whitewashed buildings as you arrive is hard to match.
