Route guide

Piraeus to Kasos ferry

Piraeus–Kasos is a very long southern-Aegean ferry route between Athens and the small island south-west of Karpathos. Blue Star Ferries currently publishes up to three routes each week and a journey from about 12 hours. Departures are shown from Piraeus Gate E7, and the live booking result should be checked carefully because these services can form part of extended multi-island itineraries.

A conventional passenger-and-vehicle ferry makes the route practical for travellers bringing a car, but the length of the crossing makes accommodation especially important. Compare private cabins, reserved seats and the onboard facilities of the assigned vessel. Weather, seasonal scheduling and the number of intermediate calls can all change the total time at sea.

The ferry arrives at Fri, Kasos’s main harbour and capital. Blue Star currently lists onward links from Kasos to Heraklion, Anafi, Karpathos, Santorini and Sitia. This makes the island part of a useful southern chain between the Cyclades, Crete and Karpathos, but long distances mean that same-day connections should never be assumed without checking the actual timetable.

Even on Piraeus to Kasos, fares and vessel assignments can vary by departure, so compare the live options rather than relying only on a typical journey time.

For Piraeus to Kasos, the advertised crossing time is only one part of the journey. Allow for port access, check-in, boarding and disembarkation when deciding which departure best fits the day.

Kasos destination and port guide

Including this crossing in a trip from the UK

Allow for the overland journey to Piraeus before choosing the ferry. A separately booked flight, train or earlier crossing may not protect you if you miss check-in. Use local times on both sides and check entry rules for each country on your full itinerary. Travel within Europe is not automatically free of document checks.

Read the UK ferry documents guide

Planning the wider journey in Greece

Greek island ferries are normally an onward stage after reaching Greece by air or by road and an Adriatic crossing. Piraeus, Rafina and Lavrio are separate Athens-area ports, and an airport connection needs time for travel and ferry check-in.

Planning advice for the journey from Britain

Passengers, vehicles and the fare

Select the correct passenger category before comparing Piraeus to Kasos fares. A passenger-only boat cannot take a car, and a vehicle ferry may still have limited bicycle or foot-passenger availability. The travel modes shown in the facts panel should be checked against the specific sailing.

For a vehicle booking, give the full height and length including a roof box, rear rack or trailer. Where accommodation is offered, check whether a cabin or seat is required and whether meals are included. Request mobility assistance and any pet space before completing the booking, because these can have separate capacity limits.

Prices depend on the date, passenger mix, vehicle and ticket conditions. Compare the complete return cost and the amendment or cancellation terms. No fixed fare on this guide should replace a dated quote.
