Route guide

Piraeus to Kastellorizo ferry

Piraeus–Kastellorizo is one of the longest domestic ferry journeys from Athens, reaching Greece’s easternmost inhabited island near the Turkish coast. Blue Star Ferries currently lists up to two routes each week and a journey from about 22 hours 19 minutes. Departures are shown from Piraeus Gate E7, and the live itinerary should be checked carefully because the sailing can include numerous Dodecanese calls.

The route normally uses a conventional passenger-and-vehicle ferry, so it works for both foot passengers and travellers taking a car. At 22 hours 19 minutes or more, the crossing is long enough to compare reserved seating and cabin options on the assigned ship. Individual departures can call at several islands, which is why the final itinerary and arrival time shown in the booking should take priority over the published minimum journey time.

The ferry enters Kastellorizo’s spectacular natural harbour beside the island’s single main settlement, so arrival is visually dramatic and locally convenient. Blue Star currently highlights onward ferry connections to Rhodes and Symi. Because the Piraeus crossing is both very long and relatively infrequent, cabin availability, the exact departure day and any onward connection deserve more attention here than on a short island route.

Look beyond the headline fare when comparing Piraeus to Kastellorizo. Departure time, ticket flexibility and the transfer after arrival can make a different sailing more convenient overall.

Timetables can change between seasons and weekdays. Check the live result for the exact sailing date, vessel and check-in requirement before arranging tightly timed onward plans.
