Kalymnos and Lipsi lie close together in the Dodecanese, and the crossing between them is one of the shorter, more straightforward inter-island hops in this part of the Aegean. Three companies share the route, running everything from quick catamarans to slower conventional ferries, so you can pick a sailing to suit your schedule rather than build your day around a single departure. New sailings keep being added to the timetable as the season progresses, so don't assume the route stops once the currently published dates run out -- check the schedule box above for the latest confirmed dates before you book.
Departures are thin on the ground outside the main season and pick up noticeably once summer arrives, when it becomes far easier to find a crossing that lines up with your plans. For the day-by-day detail rather than a seasonal average, use the monthly table below together with the booking links above.
