Samothrace–Lemnos is part of Fast Ferries’ current 2026 Greek network. The published 2026 timetable includes Samothrace 17:30 to Lemnos (Myrina) 20:10 on the southbound service. The operator currently publishes three departures per week on the current Alexandroupolis–Samothrace–Lemnos pattern. Treat these timings as planning guidance and use the live booking result for the exact departure, intermediate calls and arrival time on your travel date.
This service uses a conventional passenger-and-vehicle ferry. Cars and foot passengers can travel subject to availability, and the larger ship format provides indoor lounges, deck space and food service. On a crossing of about 2 hours 40 minutes, reserved seating or cabin accommodation can be worthwhile where offered, particularly for later-day or overnight journeys.
At Lemnos, the ferry arrives at Myrina Ferry Port. The ferry arrives at Myrina, Lemnos’ capital and main west-coast harbour. The port is integrated with the town, making it straightforward to reach accommodation before continuing by road around the island. If your itinerary continues to another island, check connection times carefully because weather, seasonal schedules and multi-stop routing can alter the practical transfer window.
Timetables can change between seasons and weekdays. Check the live result for the exact sailing date, vessel and check-in requirement before arranging tightly timed onward plans.
If you are connecting to accommodation, another ferry or ground transport, leave a sensible margin after the scheduled arrival. Weather, port traffic and boarding operations can occasionally affect the final timing.

Build your itinerary around the sailing you select: include the journey to Lemnos’s terminal, boarding time and any connection after arrival. When the outward and return crossings use different ports, compare both transfers before choosing accommodation or arranging a collection.
Start your onward itinerary at the actual landing point in Lemnos. Leave time to unload before a timed collection, train or island bus. If the ferry arrives late in the day, check the final public-transport departure or arrange a transfer in advance.
Allow for the overland journey to Samothrace 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.
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.
Select the correct passenger category before comparing Samothrace to Lemnos 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.
