Getting from Agathonisi to Pserimos

If you are heading to Pserimos from Agathonisi you are making your way to a tiny island wedged between Kos and Kalymnos, further south 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 Agathonisi to Pserimos. Pserimos is accessible only by local boat from Kalymnos. The most practical ferry approach is to take the direct ferry from Agathonisi to Kalymnos, which runs a few times a week and takes around 2 to 3 hours, and then take the local boat from Kalymnos to Pserimos, which takes around 30 minutes. This keeps the journey within the Dodecanese network without going through Athens.

Getting there by air

Pserimos has no airport. The nearest airports are Kos and Kalymnos. Taking the local ferry from Agathonisi to Leros or Samos, flying to Athens and then Athens to Kos, followed by the local boat to Pserimos, gives a total journey time of around 5 to 6 hours. In Greece, airlines do not operate direct inter island flights.

Your best option

Take the direct ferry from Agathonisi to Kalymnos and then the local boat across to Pserimos. It is the most practical approach and keeps the journey within the Dodecanese without going through Athens. Check local schedules on arrival in Kalymnos as the Pserimos service is not bookable online in advance.
