Kalymnos to Farmakonissi Route Map
Kalymnos to Farmakonissi is a rare and slow run, operated by SAOS Ferries with the Saonisos. The scheduled journey takes around five and a half hours, reflecting the calls made at other islands rather than the direct distance. This is a supply and local-service sailing rather than a tourist route.
Farmakonissi is a very small, sparsely inhabited island near Leros and the Turkish coast, with essentially no tourist infrastructure. There is no landmark at the harbour and nowhere organised to stay, and the island is better known for its border and military significance than as a destination. Anyone travelling here should be entirely self-sufficient.
Sailings are extremely infrequent, running at most once a fortnight and often less. The current timetable and fares, where published, are shown in the tables below. If you need to be in this part of the Dodecanese, Leros and Lipsi are the practical bases with regular connections.

Tips for the Kalymnos to Farmakonissi ferry
- The sea temperature in the Aegean ranges from around 15°C in winter to 27–28°C in late summer; falling overboard in winter is a serious emergency.
- On rough crossings, secure your belongings before leaving your seat – bags and bottles slide off tables easily, and wet floors make a spill a hazard.
- Booking directly with the ferry operator's own website often gives you the same price as third-party sites and makes changes or cancellations simpler.
- Aircraft-style reserved seats cost a little more than deck class and are worth it on longer crossings if cabins are beyond your budget.
- Luggage can be stored in the overhead racks inside the seating areas or along the corridors; there is no formal left-luggage system.
