The Quiet Dodecanese: Ferry routes to Leros
Leros is a peaceful, hilly island with deep natural bays. It does not get the massive tourist crowds of Kos or Rhodes. The largest ferry operators in the region include Blue Star Ferries, Dodekanisos Seaways, and ANE Kalymnou. You can reach it easily by taking a big overnight ship or a fast catamaran from nearby islands.
| Starting Port | Travel Time | Price Estimate (2026) |
|---|---|---|
| Athens (Piraeus) | 9 to 11 hours | €50 to €75 (This is the slow, steady route for cars and heavy luggage). |
| Kos | 1.5 to 2.5 hours | €15 to €30 (The smartest way to arrive after a cheap flight to Kos). |
| Patmos | 45 mins to 1 hour | €10 to €20 (A very quick hop between two quiet islands). |
Leros has two main docks. Lakki is a huge, deep water port on the west side where the giant Blue Star ferries park. Agia Marina is a smaller port on the east side used mostly by the fast catamarans. Know which port you are landing at so your taxi knows where to pick you up.
“Leros is very hilly. Unless your hotel is right on the harbor, do not try to walk from the ferry with your bags. Have your host pick you up, and rent a scooter the next day to easily get around the steep curves of the island.”
