The direct crossings on vessels like the Blue Star Patmos or Blue Star Chios are scheduled for between 8 hours 20 minutes and 8 hours 45 minutes. The company also runs a much longer 14-hour service which follows a more extensive Dodecanese island routing that includes a call at Astypalea. SeaJets provides the third weekly departure.
The crossing from Piraeus, the main port for Athens, to Patmos is a domestic Greek sailing across the Aegean Sea. From Piraeus, ferries also depart for other destinations including Crete (Heraklion, Chania), the North Aegean islands (Chios), and the Dodecanese (Kos, Leros). Patmos has onward connections to Turkey, with routes to Bodrum and Turgutreis.
