Getting from Agathonisi to Kylini
If you are heading to Kylini from Agathonisi you are making your way from the northern Dodecanese group to a port town on the northwestern Peloponnese coast, with a long sandy beach and the medieval castle of Chlemoutsi nearby, one of the best preserved Frankish fortifications in Greece.
Take the ferry
There is no direct ferry from Agathonisi to Kylini. Kylini is a mainland port with no connection to the Dodecanese ferry network. Getting there means taking the local ferry from Agathonisi to Leros or Samos, flying to Athens and then driving west to Kylini, which takes around 3 to 3.5 hours from Athens via the E65 motorway and Patras.
Getting there by air
Kylini has no airport. The nearest airport is Athens. Taking the local ferry from Agathonisi to Leros or Samos, flying to Athens and then driving to Kylini gives a total journey time of around 6 to 7 hours.
Your best option
Take the local ferry from Agathonisi to Leros or Samos, fly to Athens and drive to Kylini. It is the most practical approach. If you are traveling with a car, fly to Athens, rent a car and drive west to Kylini via the E65 motorway through Corinth and Patras.
