Agia Marina is Leros's main harbour, a low-key waterfront a short walk from the island's shops and tavernas rather than a satellite port you need a taxi to reach. Boats leave from the quay in the centre of things, so there is little logistics to plan around beyond turning up with your ticket. Dodekanisos Seaways runs the route with its high-speed catamarans, which is why this crossing is measured in minutes rather than hours -- one of the quicker inter-island hops in the Dodecanese rather than a long open-sea passage.
The route runs right through the year rather than only in summer, with a dependable daily service that typically gets a second sailing added during the busiest weeks. Check the schedule box above and the month-by-month table below for the current confirmed timetable, since operators file each season in stages and add further sailings as the year goes on. Kos, at the other end, is a much bigger and busier island, so arriving there from the relative quiet of Agia Marina can feel like a change of pace -- this crossing suits anyone island-hopping through the Dodecanese who wants a fast, reliable link between a quieter base on Leros and everything Kos has to offer.
