Where the Panagia Evagelistria sails
She has no crossing inside the fortnight this site publishes timetables for.
Usually works Tilos-Kamiros Skala (Rhodes), Chalki-Kamiros Skala (Rhodes) and Nisyros-Kardamena (Kos).
- A genuinely local lifeline boat rather than a scenic cruise - built to get islanders and a handful of vehicles between Tilos, Chalki, Nisyros and their larger neighbours.
- Very new (2025), so older guides may not list her at all — check the current timetable locally.
