Getting from Aegina to Pserimos

If you are heading to Pserimos from Aegina you are making your way to a tiny island wedged between Kos and Kalymnos in the Dodecanese group. It has a single sandy beach, a handful of tavernas and accommodation that makes it worth staying overnight rather than just passing through on a day trip.

Take the ferry

There is no direct ferry from Aegina to Pserimos. The island is accessible only by local boat from Kalymnos or as a day trip from Kos. The most practical approach is to take the Saronic ferry from Aegina to Piraeus, which takes around 40 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes, and then fly to Kos or Kalymnos and take the local boat across to Pserimos.

Getting there by air

Pserimos has no airport. The nearest airports are Kos and Kalymnos. Taking the Saronic ferry from Aegina to Piraeus, the metro to Athens Airport and flying to Kos takes around 1 hour in the air, followed by the local boat to Pserimos taking around 30 to 45 minutes. Total travel time is around 5 to 6 hours.

Your best option

Take the Saronic ferry from Aegina to Piraeus, fly to Kos and take the local boat across to Pserimos. Check local schedules on arrival in Kos or Kalymnos as the Pserimos service is not bookable online. If you want to stay overnight rather than day trip, the local ferry from Kalymnos is the more reliable connection.
