Getting from Agathonisi to Alexandroupoli

If you are heading to Alexandroupoli from Agathonisi you are making your way from the northern Dodecanese group to the far northeastern corner of Greece, a city on the Thracian coast close to the Turkish border and the gateway to Samothrace.

Take the ferry

There is no direct ferry from Agathonisi to Alexandroupoli. Getting there by sea means taking the local ferry from Agathonisi to Leros or Samos, connecting to the Piraeus ferry network and then taking the Lavrio to Alexandroupoli ferry, which takes around 26 hours and stops at multiple northern Aegean islands along the way. The total journey by sea takes the better part of three days and is not a realistic option.

Getting there by air

Both Alexandroupoli and the nearest airports to Agathonisi have connections from Athens. Taking the local ferry from Agathonisi to Leros or Samos, flying to Athens and then Athens to Alexandroupoli, gives a total journey time of around 6 to 7 hours. In Greece, airlines do not operate direct inter island flights.

Your best option

Take the local ferry from Agathonisi to Leros or Samos and fly to Alexandroupoli via Athens. It is the only realistic approach. If you are planning to visit Samothrace from Alexandroupoli, ferries to the island depart from the port daily in summer with the trip taking around 1 hour 45 minutes.
