Limni Express Schedules 2026

Limni Express runs the only direct link between Çanakkale and Limnos — a crossing that saves a long detour through Athens or Kavala for anyone wanting the island from the Turkish side. Sailings leave Çanakkale Kepez Port for Myrina on a fast catamaran, and the passage takes 2 hours 30 minutes.

A short season and a fixed rhythm

The service operates 15 June to 30 September 2026 — outside that window there is no crossing at all. Within it the pattern is straightforward: Çanakkale departs at 10.00 on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays; Myrina departs at 16.00 on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. That structure means most trips are two or three nights on the island rather than day trips — the boat that brings you does not take you back the same day.

Foot passengers only

Every sailing is marked araçsız — no vehicles. Cars, motorcycles and campers stay on the mainland. Limnos has car hire at Myrina if you need wheels once you arrive.

Fares are dynamic

There is no fixed tariff. Prices move with season, campaign, remaining capacity and passenger type, and are shown live at booking; return fares on separate days have been advertised from €110. Passenger categories are unusual and worth checking: adult from age 6, child 3–6, infant 0–3 at a nominal fare. Booking a hotel through the same company brings the ferry ticket down to €9.99, which reshapes the arithmetic of a package considerably.

Visas

The company provides visa-on-arrival support for Turkish travellers — Limnos falls under the seasonal Greek scheme — and publishes a separate guide covering documents and current conditions. This is worth reading before you book dates rather than after.

Who is behind it

Tickets are sold under the Limni Express brand by Rota Rehberi Turizm Seyahat Acentası (licence no. 6868), with payment through 3D Secure and support by WhatsApp and phone on 0850 888 84 93. The same operation sells island accommodation and a local guide alongside the crossing.
