Route guide

Piraeus to Tilos ferry

Piraeus–Tilos links Athens with one of the quieter and most environmentally distinctive islands of the Dodecanese. Blue Star Ferries currently lists up to two routes each week and a journey from about 14 hours 34 minutes. Departures are shown from Piraeus Gate E7, while the exact ship, intermediate calls and final arrival time should always be confirmed in the live booking.

The route normally uses a conventional passenger-and-vehicle ferry, so it works for both foot passengers and travellers taking a car. At 14 hours 34 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.

Arrival is at Livadia, the island’s main port and the easiest base for onward local travel. Tilos is compact but mountainous, so reaching Megalo Chorio, Eristos and more isolated bays still requires realistic road or bus time. Current Blue Star information connects Tilos with Tilos, Kalymnos, Kos, Lipsi, Nisyros, Patmos, Rhodes and Symi, giving useful onward options when the weekly schedules align.

Even on Piraeus to Tilos, fares and vessel assignments can vary by departure, so compare the live options rather than relying only on a typical journey time.

For Piraeus to Tilos, the advertised crossing time is only one part of the journey. Allow for port access, check-in, boarding and disembarkation when deciding which departure best fits the day.
