Skyros to Kymi takes a little under two hours on the Achilleas, leaving Linaria on the island's west coast and crossing to Evia. It is the island's only regular ferry link, so it carries everything from foot passengers to lorries. Open water most of the way, and it can be choppy in a strong meltemi.
The boat docks at Paralia Kymis, the port below the hilltop town of Kymi on Evia's east coast. It is a modest place, more agricultural town than resort, and the port and the town proper sit a few kilometres apart. Buses meet arrivals for the road journey on to Athens, which takes several hours.
There are typically two or three departures a day in high season and fewer in winter; the timetable and current fares appear below. Anyone driving on should allow time, since Kymi is a fair way from the main highways.

Tips for the Skyros to Kymi ferry
- Onboard announcements are made in Greek first and English second; if you miss the English version, ask a fellow passenger what was said.
- The rear vehicle ramp opens while the vessel is still manoeuvring; do not go down to the vehicle deck until the ferry is fully docked and the ramp is secure.
- Booking the earliest possible outward sailing gives you the most time on the island and reduces pressure on your return connection.
- Island-hopping itineraries that move in one direction (e.g. Athens to Rhodes via the Dodecanese) rather than back-and-forth are generally cheaper and less stressful.
