About the Canakkale – Limnos crossing
The crossing from Çanakkale to Limnos exists for a specific reason: without it, reaching the island from Turkey means flying to Athens or driving to Kavala. Limni Express sails direct from Kepez Port to Myrina in 2 hours 30 minutes on a fast catamaran.
When it runs
Season is 15 June to 30 September 2026 only. Departures from Kepez are at 10.00 on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays. The return from Myrina is at 16.00 on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays — so the shortest possible trip is two nights, and there is no same-day return.
No vehicles
Every sailing is foot-passenger only. If you want a car on Limnos, hire one at Myrina rather than planning to bring your own.
Fares and visas
Pricing is dynamic — season, campaign, remaining seats and passenger type all move it — with separate-day returns advertised from €110. Adult fares start at age 6, children are 3–6 and infants 0–3. Turkish passengers can travel on the seasonal Greek visa-on-arrival scheme, and the operator files applications; read the requirements before fixing dates.
Getting to Kepez
Kepez Port is a few kilometres south of Çanakkale city centre — not the ferry piers used for the Dardanelles crossings, so allow for the transfer if you are arriving from Eceabat or Gökçeada.
